Description:
------------
The command time() and the microtime() command return a different value.
It seems to be one day different (60s * 60 * 24 = 86400).

Perhaps it's a Time zone problem (Germany +1h but not +1Day).


Regards Thomas


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?PHP

echo time() ."<br>";

list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ",microtime()); 
echo $sec ."<br>";

echo (time() - $sec) /60 /60 /24;  //-- = 1 Day

?>

Expected result:
----------------
time() == microtime() 

Actual result:
--------------
time() == (microtime()+86400)

Sorry (it's only a small bug)

I had change my system time by +1 day
Result: Only time() returns the new time. Microtime() returns the old time.

The microtime is whatever the system libc tells it is.
Not PHP bug.
