Description:
------------
Getting different output for strftime() and date(), and wondering
whether these should be the same.
Example code:
<?php
print "TZ has NOT been set\n";
print "Should strftime==datestr? Strftime seems to assume GMT
tStamp.\n";
$input = "10:00:00 AM July 1 2005";
print "input " . $input . "\n";
$tStamp = strtotime($input);
print "strftime " . strftime("%r %B%e %Y", $tStamp) . "\n";
print "datestr " . date ("H:i:s A F j Y", $tStamp) . "\n";
print "\nSetting TZ\n";
putenv ("TZ=Australia/Sydney");
$input = "10:00:00 AM July 1 2005";
print "input " . $input . "\n";
$tStamp = strtotime($input);
print "strftime " . strftime("%r %B%e %Y", $tStamp) . "\n";
print "datestr " . date ("H:i:s A F j Y", $tStamp) . "\n";
?>
Output:
-------------------------------------------------
ludo:~/tmp/php-5.1-dev/strftime-vs-date#
../php5-200507010030/sapi/cli/php ./strftime-vs-date.php
TZ has NOT been set

Expected output:
-------------------------------------------------
TZ has NOT been set
Should strftime==datestr? Strftime seems to assume GMT tStamp.
input 10:00:00 AM July 1 2005
strftime 10:00:00 AM July 1 2005
datestr 10:00:00 AM July 1 2005
Setting TZ
input 10:00:00 AM July 1 2005
strftime 10:00:00 AM July 1 2005
datestr 10:00:00 AM July 1 2005
ludo:~/tmp/php-5.1-dev/strftime-vs-date#
-------------------------------------------------
Note: the "%r" strftime format is described thus: "time in a.m. and
p.m. notation". The strftime documentation does not indicate that this
is altered by the locale settings (unlike the weekday, month, and so on
are). However my locale is English anyway, which is what date() seems to
use, and the locale is not adjusted by the above script, so I would
anticipate getting the same output between date and strftime.
