PHP date function displaying wrong day [closed]

Question

I am trying to get todays day using PHP date function but it is coming back with 31/03/2013 which is tomorrow. I have tried changing the default timezone but it still returns the same.

    date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Dublin');
    echo date("d/m/Y");

Any ideas?

Are you sure the server-time is correct? Also today may be a bad day to test dates since many countries switch DST — Eric Herlitz

It's on my windows PC running WAMP. The date on the systray clock is correct unless there is somewhere else I should be checking? — User787665

Can you do echo time() both before and after date_default_timezone_set? — Tushar

Yep. The timezone seems to be correct as the time stamp doesn't change when I add/remove the date_default_timezone_set() — User787665

Looks to like bug in php 5.3.2-1. Try to run the php script in the bug report and post your results.

-1 vote for : look at here de3.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php , at the end of the example 4 , there is a statement , To format dates in other languages, you should use the setlocale() and strftime() functions instead of date().
