Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This is not a bug. First of all, *both* of those timezones are only there for backwards compatibility (see the big warning at http://uk.php.net/manual/en/timezones.others.php). Secondly, the timezone database's version of Etc/GMT[+-][0-9]+ work the other way around where + means - and thirdly US/Central is currently on GMT-5 hence the 11 hour difference between the output: 07/19/2009 16:32:58 CDT 07/20/2009 03:32:58 GMT-6 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-19 19:40:55] cpriest at warpmail dot net Description: ------------ When initializing two new DateTime objects using equivalent DateTimeZone()'s of US/Central and Etc/GMT-6, the result is incorrect Reproduce code: --------------- $objTime = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('US/Central')); echo $objTime->format('m/d/Y H:i:s T')."\r\n"; $objTime = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('Etc/GMT-6')); echo $objTime->format('m/d/Y H:i:s T')."\r\n"; Expected result: ---------------- The same timestamp on two lines (with different TimeZone specifiers) Actual result: -------------- Different timestamps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48977&edit=1
