@rosty.kerei: There's a fundamental error in your original report, as GMT is never UTC+1: GMT effectively *is* UTC. Here in the UK right now, we're on British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1, GMT+1), so London, although in a "GMT zone", is not currently on GMT. In the autumn, we will shift back an hour and London will then indeed be on GMT.

Learn more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC For example, now I'm situated in Kiev, Ukraine (GMT+2), it's summer time and it's 04:00AM here, but in London (in GMT zone) it's 02:00AM, however the function returns 01:00AM - it's not GMT, it's UTC time. This function should work well in winter. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo gmdate('H:i', time()); ?> Expected result: ---------------- 02:00AM Actual result: -------------- 01:00AM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37772&edit=1
