That is incorrect, since "Z" is the way to specify UTC in that ISO format. Furthermore, if you want to create a DateTimeZone("Z") it will throw. Best regards, hope this helps to make php better :) Test script: --------------- $dt = new DateTime("2011-12-06T19:55:34Z"); $tz = $dt->getTimeZone(); echo $tz->getName(); Expected result: ---------------- "UTC" Actual result: -------------- "Z" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60453&edit=1
