Bug Type: Date/time related
Operating System: Windows XP Home

New Comment:
This is not a bug - strftime() uses the Operating System timezone
information which applications can not override. You want the date()
function to handle this correctly. The date() function does not rely on
the Operating System for any formatting.

Description:
------------
strftime is not showing the correct time zone as set by
date_default_timezone_set
Please note strftime reflects the correct time for the new time zone
setting, but not the correct time zone.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$before = strftime('%H:%M %z');
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
$after = strftime('%H:%M %z');
echo("date('e'): ". date('e'). ", strftime('%z'): ". strftime('%z'));
echo ", strftime('%H:%M %z') before: $before, strftime('%H:%M %z')
after: $after";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
date('e'): America/New_York, strftime('%z'): Eastern Daylight Time,
strftime('%H:%M %z') before: 05:21 Eastern Daylight Time,
strftime('%H:%M %z') after: 06:21 Eastern Daylight Time
Actual result:
--------------
date('e'): America/New_York, strftime('%z'): Central Daylight Time,
strftime('%H:%M %z') before: 05:21 Central Daylight Time,
strftime('%H:%M %z') after: 06:21 Central Daylight Time
// note: on my setup Central Daylight Time would be expected if
date_default_timezone_set had not been used
