Description:
------------
PHP error log no longer respects timezone and always logs in UTC.

Setting error_log to a filesystem path and date.default_timezone to e.g 
Europe/Oslo gives the following log lines in 5.3.8:

[12-Jan-2012 10:02:38] PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: foo in 
/home/htdocs/index.php on line 3
[12-Jan-2012 10:02:38] PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function bar() on a 
non-object in /home/htdocs/index.php on line 3

While in 5.3.9 you get:

[12-Jan-2012 09:06:00 UTC] PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: foo in 
/home/htdocs/index.php on line 3
[12-Jan-2012 09:06:00 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function bar() on 
a non-object in /home/htdocs/index.php on line 3

I have the same problem.

 The "localtime" argument passed to the php_format_date() function
was changed from 1 to 0 between 5.3.8 and 5.3.9.

 Did it cause the problem?


In /[svn]/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3/main/main.c
*revision 319750, line 602:
    error_time_str = php_format_date("d-M-Y H:i:s", 11, error_time, 1 TSRMLS_CC);

*revision 319823, line 602:
    error_time_str = php_format_date("d-M-Y H:i:s e", 13, error_time, 0 TSRMLS_CC);

Hi!

We had to change this in order to prevent crashes (like in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60373). I'll check whether there is a better way to fix it.

cheers,

The merit which makes this message UTC fixation is not known. 
How about changing in this way?

-error_time_str = php_format_date("d-M-Y H:i:s e", 13, error_time, 0 TSRMLS_CC);
+error_time_str = php_format_date("d-M-Y H:i:s T", 13, error_time, 1 TSRMLS_CC);

Why is it neglected? 
The cause of this bug is specification change by the wrong bug fix method.

laruence:
It will be a peculiar problem in ZTS. 
I think that it does not become a reason fixed to UTC in all?
 [2012-09-21 05:16 UTC] laruence@php.net
yes,I have attached a patch, will
commit it later, I am not able to do a whole test now:)
 [2012-09-21 11:01 UTC] junk at ipercolate dot net
Hi,

I don't think the existing behaviour (string format) should be changed, for most users.  I expect there will be many shell scripts that will break slightly because the TZ is now written into the error_time_str.   I have patched my build to only add the TZ to the string if expected behaviour is different (ie logged time is in UTC).

I revert to original behaviour on initially setting error_time_str (localtime = 1), and then add an '#ifdef ZTS' to set it with localtime = 1 and include 'e' in the format string.

I can add this patch file ?

cheers,
 [2012-09-21 12:43 UTC] junk at ipercolate dot net
sorry, a typo above.  I set localtime to 0 (zero) ifdev ZTS

cheers,
 [2012-09-21 12:59 UTC] laruence@php.net
@junk I think the format of output should be consistent. which means either all 
include the 'e', or all don't.

 [2012-10-10 21:19 UTC] pixelchutes at gmail dot com
Should hopefully be released in 5.3.18, since 5.3.17 was released just a few days 
before the patch was committed (13-Sep-2012 vs 23-Sep-2012). Glad to hear this 
has been resolved, thanks!

Don't see the fix in Debians testing packages (specifically 5.4.4), still seeing the UTC time instead of the local time:
