formatLocalized - unexpected behaviour about carbon

[tkaufmann]

Could it be that easy?

In 1.7, change line 815

return strftime($format, $this->timestamp);

to

return strftime($format, $this->timestamp + $this->getOffset());

It seems ok here.... although possibly not your desired value.

Your Carbon instance is holding a particular date/time with a timezone. strftime() takes timestamp (UTC) and formats it to your current locale settings. Part of your locale settings is your current timezone. So the method moves the timestamp to the current runtime env timezone and proceeds with the formatting.

Adding the offset doesn't work here. I think it has to set the default timezone and the reset it after the call.

I tried date_default_timezone_set() and ini_set('date.timezone', $carbon) and neither has worked here.
When I print out the %z is always says my current timezone rather than the timezone I just set.
If that would work then we can change up the implementation.

Darn! My php.ini set the timezone to Europe/Berlin, but the Laravel app.php set it back to UTC. After setting that to CET as well, strange behaviour is gone. Glad I didn't call it a bug ;-) Thanks for putting me on the right track.
