PHP Version: 5.1.0b3

to derick:
actually its not that difficult to guess the timezone on windows (with
the comming winfx api will be even easier).
After some research on the web and some testing:
#include <time.h>
main () {
time_t t;
localtime ((time(&t), &t)); // fill the _tzname var
printf("TZ=%s TZDST=%s\n", _tzname[0], _tzname[1]);
}
with GMT outputs:
TZ=GMTST TZDST=GMTDT
_tzname[0] is the timezone abbr name. _tzname[1] is filled if the
current timezone has DST changes.
more testing:
Pacific time:
TZ=PST TZDST=PDT
Central time:
TZ=CST TZDST=CDT
Brasilia:
TZ=ESAST TZDST=ESADT
Brisbane:
TZ=EAST TZDST=
The problem here is that our DB doesn't have these abbreviations. But
with some trialing we could all tz settings that windows uses and link
them to the main db.

hi
it seems that I have a related problem:
I am on GMT+1
for the following example the system time is 11:00
date("H:i");
=> 09:00
set system time-zone to GMT(+0)
date("H:i");
=> 09:00
set system time to 10:00
date("H:i");
=> 08:00
It seems that php don't have the correct timezone. This error occurs
since 5.1.0b3.
My box runs on win2000SP4 with the latest snapshot.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:
http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz
For Windows:
http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip
Sorry, but I've tested on windows and it works perfectly. Are you sure
you are using an up-to-date snapshot? And that means PHP 5.1.0 beta 3
is old...

By the way I do have E_ALL turned on, on my machine. After all I don't
run my windows box with PHP in production. I use my windows box for
development. Our PHP production runs on OpenBSD servers.
I don't quite understand this comment of yours:
"Now, if we can find a way how PHP can guess the correct timezone from
your windows box "
PHP 5.0.4 reads my TZ perfectly and gives you the expected result. Why
would PHP 5.1.X not be able to?

okay I figured out how to set my time zone.
I ran the following code in PHP 5.0.4 and PHP 5.1.X and recieved the
same result
putenv("TZ=US/Central");
echo date('r', (strtotime('oct 25')+(86400*6)));
This would mean the bug is simply that PHP5.1.X is not looking at the
time zone on the local machine.

That function is only there in the snapshots, please try that instead.
http://snaps.php.net (and pick latest cvs (5.1-dev) there).
