Date() Problems - BST Problem is OFF

Testing BST Problems - Problem is OFF

If you look below, right (“Top Ten Pages Today”) you will see a print-out of the current time on the server. This string (may) include ‘+0100’ indicating that British Summer Time is currently in effect on the server.

Look now at bston.php and the same string has become ‘+0000’, indicating that one line of Date() code has switched BST off for that page. (I hope that it is obvious that this effect only appears during the ‘Summer’ months, although it has now done so for 3 years at the time of writing.)

Program code causing no problems:

This is the only code on this page (all other code is within common include-files):

     require_once('Date.php');
     $_DATE_TIMEZONE_DEFAULT='GB'; // will become 'UTC' or 'BST' if not preset (fixed)
     $today=new Date();

A longer explanation of this is at the 12 April, 2004 Diary page. The bug has been reported by email to the module writer and also on the PEAR bug-report page.

Site Info, History & Page Stats

These pages are a LAMP-development of the original Modem-Help, UK site (most of the old HTML pages still exist, but havn’t been updated for quite some time). That site, in it’s turn, was a transfer from the first html site on free-pages at Freeserve (sadly, now gone). The current format allows superb search facilities, customisation by Registered members, plus is quick ‘n’ easy to update.

Diligently put together in the UK by Alex Kemp. All efforts have been taken to ensure the veracity of what is written - if you know of any errors or omissions then please let us know.
