date - PHP Daylight savings bug? -
i ran strange bug has occurs in php running in pacific time (and others). had code first day of week (sunday) given arbitrary date (in unix timestamp) in week:
$day = date('w', $date); $start_of_week = date('y-m-d', $date - ($day * 60*60*24)); echo $start_of_week;
prints 2014-03-08
this works every single date i've tried, except in week of march 9th, 2014, happens week of daylight savings time in us. those, $start_of_week
'2014-03-08', saturday.
when run code timezone set gmt, correct output ('2014-03-09').
additionally, when change code following in pst, correct output:
$day = date('w', $date); $start_of_week = date('y-m-d', strtotime("-$day day", $date)); echo $start_of_week;
prints 2014-03-09
so...wtf? why there difference between strtotime("-1 day", $date)
, $date - 60*60*24
? seems it's jumping between different timezones.
