Bug description:DateTime doesn't use default timezone
Description:
------------
DateTime doesn't appear to use the default timezone (set either in php.ini
or with date_default_timezone_set()).
It's currently BST in the UK and without calling setTimeZone() on a
DateTime object, format() will produce a date/time that is one hour
behind.
If setTimeZone() is called on a DateTime object then the date/time produced
by format() is correct.
date() by itself uses the default timezone that has been set. For
consistency, DateTime should do also.
Test script:
---------------
<pre>
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
$now = time();
// Initialising with a timestamp, second DateTimeZone parameter would be
ignored.
$dt1 = new DateTime('@' . $now);
echo 'DateTime->format()', "\t", $dt1->format('Y-m-d H:i:s T Z e');
echo "\n";
$dt2 = new DateTime('@' . $now);
$dt2->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone('Europe/London'));
echo 'DateTime->format()', "\t", $dt2->format('Y-m-d H:i:s T Z e');
echo "\n";
echo 'date()', "\t\t\t", date('Y-m-d H:i:s T Z e', $now);
?>
<pre>
Expected result:
----------------
$dt1->format() should use Europe/London as the timezone and show the
correct time for that timezone.
Actual result:
--------------
$dt1->format() shows +00:00 as the timezone and is an hour behind.
