Bug #66793
Updated by Sybille Peters over 6 years ago
The entered time in the text field "simulate time" is evaluated as UTC / GMT even though a different timezone is set on client + server machine (CEST / "Europe/Berlin"). This problem exists in 4.5.40 and 6.2.12. h1. The problem probably exists in the Javascript Code running on the client side (should respect client's timezone). More info: ========== setup ===== server: ------- php.ini: <pre><code class="php"> date.timezone = "Europe/Berlin" </code></pre> System timezone: CEST LocalConfiguration.php LocalConfiguration.php: <pre><code class="php"> 'phpTimeZone' => 'Europe/Berlin', LocalConfiguration.php: 'serverTimeZone' => '2', client: ------- </code></pre> h1.
