Timezone support unchanged in 2.8?

This is reported in trac via https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/10143 so watch that for more info (hopefully).

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately they seem to have closed that ticket without a fix. (Also, I’m running PHP 5.2, so I’d think I’d be fine.) I’ll keep an eye out, though…

Ugh, that was a complete lie. My control panel claims I’m running 5.2, but phpinfo indicates it’s 4.4.9! My bad.

For some hosts (Core_Update_Host_Compatibility), adding AddType x-mapp-php5 .php to .htaccess makes PHP 5 available

I’ve forced an update to PHP5.2 (which for whatever reason the panel claimed was already running, but wasn’t), and now all seems well. Thanks again for the links – a big help!

I’m pushing to have 10143 reopened. I don’t understand how it is “invalid” as a bug when the WP minimum requirements list PHP 4.3, and the automatic DST adjustment option in WP 2.8 requires (apparently) PHP 5.2.6 or greater.

(I also recommended changing the wording of the explanatory text, since as it is currently, users cannot tell that it is a server (PHP version) issue, rather than lack of built-in support for automatic DST adjustment.)

this problem appears also on the localized versions installed from scratch…
O have both the issues and I am running
Apache version 2.2.11 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.9
Kernel version 2.6.28-9.16.intel.BHsmp

resolved
