Description:
------------
As of php 5.0RC1 mktime returns a negative value when supplied with a date on daylight savings regardless of the is_dst option.

This did not occur in php 5 beta 3, nor in any version of php 4.


Reproduce code:
---------------
echo mktime(0, 0, 0, 4, 4, 2004, 0) . "\n";
echo mktime(0, 0, 0, 4, 4, 2004, 1) . "\n";
echo mktime(0, 0, 0, 4, 4, 2004, -1) . "\n";

Expected result:
----------------
with php 5 beta 3 and php 4:

1081054800
1081051200
1081054800


Actual result:
--------------
with php 5 RC1:

-7262
-7262
-7262

I should mention it worked fine in php 5 beta 4 as well.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

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

It works fine for me on LInux (with RC2-dev); perhaps you can try the latest PHP 5 snapshot?

I tried it out, and still got the same problem:

I tested it out on FreeBSD 5.2.1 and still had the same problem using the latest snapshot:

Ok I've done some more testing,  FreeBSD mktime will return -1 when passed in 2 am for the day when clocks are being moved ahead,  since 2am should never exist.

I'm not sure how linux handles this (maybe returns a 3am timestamp).

This coupled with the change to ext/standard/datetime.c line 192+ which always changes the hour 2am if its 12 or 1 am.  Unfortunatly this has a bad effect of messing up 12am and 1am for daylight savings days which are valid hours.

http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/php-src/ext/standard/datetime.c?r1=1.116&r2=1.117&ty=h

I'm not sure what the best solution is,  but I hope this helps.

I made the changed referenced above to address this bug:
http://bugs.php.net/27533

Perhaps the solution here is to offset it to +3 or +4 instead to get the baseline timestamp.
 [2004-03-26 14:25 UTC] rasmus@php.net 
I have committed a fix which uses the 4am offset instead of 2 there around line 192 in datetime.c.  Any chance you could test that and let me know if it fixes your problem?
 [2004-03-26 14:50 UTC] schmidt dot a at rogers dot com 
problem fixed.  thanks.
 [2004-03-30 07:42 UTC] derick@php.net 
This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

With PHP 4.4.1RC1 i get these results when running the test:

echo mktime(0, 0, 0, 4, 4, 2004, 0) . "\n";
echo mktime(0, 0, 0, 4, 4, 2004, 1) . "\n";
echo mktime(0, 0, 0, 4, 4, 2004, -1) . "\n";

1081033200
1081029600
1081029600

Derick, is that expected behaviour?
 [2005-10-08 13:34 UTC] derick@php.net 
Yes, that is correct.
