Description:
------------
This is on Debian PHP version 5.2.0-8+etch7 running on Apache/2.2.3 


When trying to get the last reboot date of a linux server, from the command line I run "who -b". More precisely, I run "who -b|awk \'{print $3" "$4}\'" which, on the CLI, returns "2007-10-18 04:45". When I run the PHP command echo exec('who -b|awk \'{print $3" "$4}\''); I get the following result: Oct 18

Obviously, this has been formatted by PHP.

To make sure of this, I tried this:
$rebootdate = strftime("%m-%d-%Y %I:%M%p", strtotime($rebootdateexec));

This get's closer. It outputs "10-18-2007 12:00AM". So it got the date but missed the time.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$rebootdateexec = exec('who -b|awk \'{print $3" "$4}\'');

echo $rebootdateexec;

$rebootdate = strftime("%m-%d-%Y %I:%M%p", strtotime($rebootdateexec));

echo $rebootdate;

Expected result:
----------------
$rebootdateexec = 2007-10-18 04:45

$rebootdate = 10-18-2007 04:45AM

Actual result:
--------------
$rebootdateexec = Oct 18

$rebootdate = 10-18-2007 12:00AM

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows (zip):
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip

For Windows (installer):

  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-installer-latest.msi

I can't reproduce this.

I'll get the CVS, but just for your reference, here's a composite of several screens showing this "error", with the actual PHP code in the box to the right.

Yes, but you're using an unsupported PHP version. We only support the non-patched ones you can get as sources here at php.net. Some distros patch their PHP binaries (and often badly) so..

This isn't a Bug.

If you take a look at the documentation for who you will find:

Time stamps are listed according to the time zone rules specified by
the `TZ' environment variable, or by the system default rules if `TZ'
is not set.  *Note Specifying the Time Zone with `TZ': (libc)TZ
Variable.

It seems that the environment of the user wich runs the Apache is different from the environment of your putty user...
