I must be missing something here. date('r') is intended to display an
RFC822 date string. Section 5.1 of RFC822 clearly states that +0100 is
a perfectly valid way to represent the timezone. So how is this
function not working as expected?

print(date("r", 1));
Prints: "Thu, 1 Jan 1970 01:00:01 +0100"
This is correct, the local timezone is GMT+1.
print(gmdate("r",1));
Prints: "Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:00:01 +0100"
This is wrong, it outputs the GMT date & time, but with the timezone
"+0100" instead of "GMT". Thus equaling a date of "Wed, 31 Dec 1969
23:00:01 GMT", which is obviously not 1 second after the start of the
unix epoch.

Ah, ok. Too early in the morning here. Looks like a Windows-specific issue as your test displays this on my Linux box: Wed, 31 Dec 1969 16:00:01 -0800 Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:00:01 +0000

Fixed in CVS
The 'r' format string doesn't work as expected: print(date("r", 1)); Prints: "Thu, 1 Jan 1970 01:00:01 +0100" print(gmdate("r",1)); Prints: "Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:00:01 +0100" I think the '+0100' should've been 'GMT'. (Done on a system with GMT+1)
