From: brianm-phpbugs at dealnews dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Docs do not reflect E_STRICT warning
Description: ------------ Enabling E_STRICT and using strtotime() yields this error: Strict Standards: strftime() [function.strftime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. We selected 'America/Chicago' for 'CDT/-5.0/DST' instead in /www/dev.phorum/phorum5-dev/include/format_functions.php on line 157 However, the docs at http://us3.php.net/function.strftime/ make no mention of this. I believe if you are going to throw warnings for things in E_STRICT, it should at least be documented. Reproduce code: --------------- use strtotime() without setting a timezone in php.ini Expected result: ---------------- Documentation would have headed this warning. Actual result: -------------- No docs about this being a possible problem. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37486&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37486&r=mysqlcfg
