Hi Karen,

Type of field: - Date, Type of widget - Selector, Timezone option being used - US/PST, the actual timezone that represents (seems to be GMT -3), Not using 'multiple' option, Not using 'required' option.

My config: Drupal 5.7, PHP 5.0.4, Apache 2.0.54, MySQL 5.0

I've been able to duplicate an error where my time stamps for comments are all 4 hrs off (ahead of my time - US/PST California). [Basically loaded up Drupal 5.7 from scratch and made sure it was not a server issue.] With the Date v2.0rc, my site admin date/time settings show the correct time but all time stamps for my blogs, etc are 4 hrs ahead of my time zone. I even changed the timezone setting for something else and that didn't affect the time stamp of my blogs.

So I went back to Date 5.x-1.7 and since our needs for the time stamp are really basic - like for blogs. So far, no errors on the time stamp and I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that we won't get that weird timezone offset discussed in drupal.org/node/206009 as we'll be using Calendar v. 5.x-1.7 to list events. I'm creating the event content type rather than using the Events module.

Thanks!

Yep I'm getting the exact same thing. Drupal 5.7, PHP 5.2.6, Apache 2.0.52, MySQL 4.1.20.

Update: actually, I think I was using PHP 4.3.9 when I ran these tests, and had the Date PHP4 module turned on. So the problem might be in that module -- I happened to be upgrading to PHP 5 at about this time, and when I did so and turned off date_php4.module, the times on my events started behaving.

Do you have the same problems with the latest dev version of the date module? Quite a few important commits have gone in since the rc version.

Have gone back to Date 5.x-1.7 and applied John Albin's patch: http://drupal.org/node/206009
Fixes a time zone problem. So far so good.

Suspect the 4-hr diff may have come from the Date PHP4 module but I'm not going to bother testing it right now.

Moving on ...
