Not a bug, we try to guess as best as possible. In your case, simply set the configuration correctly in php.ini with the http://no2.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php#ini.date.timezone option.

Actual result: -------------- Australia/Melbourne returned, which while currently in the same timezone as Australia/Sydney, has in the past had slightly different daylight saving start/finish times. Australia/ACT returned for a set system timezone of Australia/Brisbane, which are in different timezones, and are 1 hour different during daylight saving. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35763&edit=1
