What you state means that there is a bug in de mail() function. Because that function sends a +0100 value with the date header. Isn't this true? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-01 19:26:53] [EMAIL PROTECTED] You are in GMT+0100 in winter and GMT+0200 in summer, see e.g. <http://greenwichmeantime.com/local/europe/nl.htm>. GMT doesn't have daylight savings, it's fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-01 18:30:59] mark at katmoda dot com Description: ------------ I just found out this on my windows XP machine: background info: - I live in the Netherlands (timezone= GMT+1) When you enable the option to automaticaly adjust your system clock for daylight savings (on windows' control panel), php's date() function and the Date header in the mail function will return different time zones. an example: <?php $test= date('O'); ?> now $test is: "+0200" But if I send a mail with php using the mail() function the Date header is telling me +0100 (which seems to me is right because I live in the Netherlands where timezone=GMT+1) This bug can be caused by windows (returning the wrong timezone to php's date() function). Or php's date() function is doing something wrong itself. I found this trying to figure out why my emails appeared to be sent one hour later than they really were sent. (I use Mozilla mail and appearantly it suffers from the same bug as php's date() function ). Reproduce code: --------------- <?php print(date('D, d M y H:i:s O')); # This only goes wrong when you have "automaticaly adjust # clock for daylight saving changes" on: # control panel> Date and Time> Time zone # set to enabled ?> Expected result: ---------------- Sat, 02 Aug 03 01:17:02 +0100 Actual result: -------------- Sat, 02 Aug 03 01:17:02 +0200 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24912&edit=1
