[2004-03-31 13:31 UTC] mikeatwork at ukonline dot co dot uk

Description:
------------
Setting an instance of Date with a valid timestamp and then querying the getHour() method produces a strange value!

Adding debug output in to the setDate() method shows that the correct value of '13' is being extracted for the hour by the regular expression.

The servers clock is currently set at:
[root@DV1 pear]# date
Wed Mar 31 14:33:25 BST 2004

Suggestions on the #pear IRC channel are that 'BST' is not handled?

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
require 'Date.php';

$dateObj = new Date;
$dateObj->setDate("2004-03-31T13:36:07Z", DATE_FORMAT_ISO_EXTENDED);
echo $dateObj->getHour();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
13

Actual result:
--------------
7

Hello,

Cannot be fixed without rewriting most of date_span. The idea to store "huge" timespan using seconds was not good.

I doubt that will get fixed in the 1.x branch.
