From: casey dot php at caseyftw dot com Operating system: Ubuntu Linux PHP version: 5.2.9 PHP Bug Type: Date/time related Bug description: strtotime() Reverses Time Zone Offsets
Description: ------------ When using strtotime($timezone), where $timezone is the timezone abbreviation, it adds negative offsets and subtracts positive offsets to the time. If you add a date string, e.g. "April 10, 2009 9:20 AM MDT", the same problem occurs. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php // It is currently 9:55 pm PDT. Default time zone is PDT. echo date('g:i a', strtotime('HADT')) . " \n"; echo date('g:i a', strtotime('AKDT')) . " \n"; echo date('g:i a', strtotime('PDT')) . " \n"; // This is the only correct one. echo date('g:i a', strtotime('MDT')) . " \n"; echo date('g:i a', strtotime('CDT')) . " \n"; echo date('g:i a', strtotime('EDT')) . " \n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- 7:55 pm 8:55 pm 9:55 pm 10:55 pm 11:55 pm 12:55 am Actual result: -------------- 11:55 pm 10:55 pm 9:55 pm 8:55 pm 7:55 pm 6:55 pm -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47905&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47905&r=mysqlcfg
