Subject: easter_date() II
From: lists@block-online.eu (Oliver Block)

Hello,

easter_date() returns a timestamp produced by C's mktime(). 
(ext/calendar/easter.c:111):

                Z_LVAL_P(return_value) = mktime(&te);

AFAIK mktime() (time.h) is different to php's mktime() as it does not consider 
php's timezones, i,e, C's mktime does always return a timestamp of the local 
timezone. At least I conclude that from own tests. 
PHP's date functions on the other hand interpret the timestamp with respect to 
the php (default?) timezone.

This leads to the wrong test results of easter_date.phpt as described in my 
posting from 22. Jan.

Regards,

Oliver
