+Bug Type: Documentation problem
Operating System: Windows XP HOME
PHP Version: 5.1.0RC1
New Comment:
That will be addressed in the documentation very soon. It depends on
which area you are exactly in, for now pick one from the list here:
http://viewcvs.php.net/viewcvs.cgi/....viewcvs-markup
date.timezone=America/New_York is how you put it into php.ini

Okay, I updated to the newest CSV and switched the .ini out as
suggested.
I am having an issue with date.timezone though, I'm in GMT -05:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) however, I have not found any docs that tell
me what format I need to use for date.timezone, do I use quotes, how do
I format the directive?

You see a warning if you enable E_STRICT mode btw.

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
And also: What timezone are you on? Use the "date.timezone" php.ini
setting to set it to the right place. For example I use this:
date.timezone="Europe/Helsinki"
Please also use the new php.ini-dist (or php.ini-recommended) as base
for your php.ini, it has changed a lot.

Description:
------------
On Windows XP Home which is the only system I have tried this issue on,
using the date(); function to return system time produces a result that
is always 8 hours exactly behind the current system time.
I have verified that the following is true;
1: Y2K Compliance is turned " On " in php.ini
2: The systems time is correct and in the correct time zone
3: The system is using daylight savings time
I have repeated this error consistantly using several variations of
format characters.
The ability to return the correct date however, seems unaffected.
This issue does not occur on my other Windows XP Home system, using PHP
5.4.3 & the same PHP.ini config and the same script.
Reproduce code:
---------------
variation 1.) date("H:i:s");
variation 2.) date("h:i:s");
variation 3.) date("h:i");
variation 4.) date("g:i");
Expected result:
----------------
I expect to see a verbos system time from php however, the result is
consistantly 8 hours behind the system time
Actual result:
--------------
if the current system time is 11:32 pm, PHP 5.1RC1 will render 03:32 pm
using any number of format character variations.
