Berlin had some interesting timezone rules: Europe/Berlin Fri Mar 31 23:06:31 1893 UT = Fri Mar 31 23:59:59 1893 LMT isdst=0 gmtoff=3208 Europe/Berlin Fri Mar 31 23:06:32 1893 UT = Sat Apr 1 00:06:32 1893 CET isdst=0 gmtoff=3600 Europe/Berlin Sun Apr 30 21:59:59 1916 UT = Sun Apr 30 22:59:59 1916 CET isdst=0 gmtoff=3600 Europe/Berlin Sun Apr 30 22:00:00 1916 UT = Mon May 1 00:00:00 1916 CEST isdst=1 gmtoff=7200 But there was a bug in PHP where we'd ignore the first block, and hence picked a UTC offset of gmtoff=3208 for 1900-01-01, which was wrong. That's now fixed again. cheers, Derick -- http://derickrethans.nl | http://xdebug.org Like Xdebug?
