We are happy to tell you that you just discovered Daylight Savings
Time. For more information see:

Instead of using mktime/date consider using gmmktime and gmdate which
do
not suffer from DST.

Borked system. Works fine here:

18:49:44 EEST
15:49:44 GMT
Fri Jul 11 18:49:44 EEST 2003

script:
<?php

echo date("H:i:s T"), "\n";
echo gmdate("H:i:s T"),"\n";
echo exec('date'), "\n";

?>

Remember the DST...

Hi!

Now I'm trying to solve this problem for more then 10 houres, nad
nobody seems to know what is going wrong here. If I try this:

<?php
echo date("H:i:s")."\n";
echo gmdate("H:i:s");
?>

That displays:
12:36:36
11:36:36

What I would expect would be the same like date in shell:
# date
Fri Jul 11 13:37:39 CEST 2003

the correspondent Apache access-log:
[11/Jul/2003:12:36:36 +0100]

# /sbin/hwclock
returns
Fri 11 Jul 2003 13:36:42 PM CEST 0.707042 seconds

and it could not be set by
# /sbin/hwclock --systohc --utc
but I think thats not important

# ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jul 11 09:33 /etc/localtime
-> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin

which is what I want(my timezone). It's GMT + 1. PHP _has_ these
difference of one hour between time() and gmtime(), but both are an
extra hour too late.

I also restartet Apache, I tried to change /etc/sysconfig/clock, which
is now:

# cat /etc/sysconfig/clock
ZONE="Europe/Berlin"
UTC=true
ARC=false

But PHP did not take care about changes in it, PHP also did not care
about changing my timezone, this 1 hour too late stays.

also ntpdate did not help, the time was changed about 3 seconds.

Im Using RedHat Linux 7.3 min.-Installation
I compiled Apache 1.3.27 with PHP 4.3.2 as static module.

My PHP-./configure:
../configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.27 --with-mysql --with-gd
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --with-ttf --with-zlib
--enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-trans-sid --disable-cgi --enable-ftp

I'm using PHP-Accelerator.

I have asked a lot of people and searched for people with similar
problems, but I did not find any. So my last Idea is that it's a
PHP-Bug.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo date("H:i:s")."\n";
echo gmdate("H:i:s");
?>

Expected result:
----------------
date: +-0 hours
gmdate -1 hour

Actual result:
--------------
date: -1 hour
gmdate -2 hours
