[imp] Timezone problem -- fix

[Klemen Humerca]

I'm using horde 2.2 and IMP 3.2. This problem is very strange. As I decribed
in my earlier mail:

1.) I have this problem. If I try this input: "date" on my server I get
this:

Fri Mar 21 12:46:30 GMT+1 2003

This is correct time!!


2.) But when I use php function "date('r')", I get this in my browser:

Fri, 21 Mar 2003 12:46:30 -0100

This is also correct time, but -1 is wrong!


3.) When I use IMP I get wrong dates in INBOX or in compose window. So I
tried and I put "echo date('r') before "set the current time zone" in
/imp/mailbox.php:
echo date('r')";

/* Set the current time zone. */
if ($prefs->getValue('timezone') != '') {
    putenv('TZ=' . $prefs->getValue('timezone'));
}

I get this:

Fri, 21 Mar 2003 12:46:30 -0100


4.) I tried and I put "echo date('r') after "set the current time zone" in
/imp/mailbox.php:

/* Set the current time zone. */
if ($prefs->getValue('timezone') != '') {
    putenv('TZ=' . $prefs->getValue('timezone'));
}

echo date('r')";

I get this:

Fri, 21 Mar 2003 14:46:30 +0100

This time is wrong for +2 hours. Where is the problem?


5.) I tried and I put "echo date('r') before "set the current time zone" in
/imp/compose.php:

echo date('r')";

/* Set the current time zone. */
if ($prefs->getValue('timezone') != '') {
    putenv('TZ=' . $prefs->getValue('timezone'));
}

I get this:

Fri, 21 Mar 2003 12:46:30 -0100


6.) I tried and I put "echo date('r') before "set the current time zone" in
/imp/compose.php:

/* Set the current time zone. */
if ($prefs->getValue('timezone') != '') {
    putenv('TZ=' . $prefs->getValue('timezone'));
}

echo date('r')";

I get this:

Fri, 21 Mar 2003 14:46:30 +0100


So, if I set Time zone to Default, shown time in compose window is right,
but shown time in INBOX is wrong. And if I set Time zone to
Europe/Ljubljana, shown time in compose is wrong, but shown time in INBOX is
right.

Where is the problem?

| Please at least tell us what versions of Horde/IMP you're using...
