| Hello. I’m compiling PHP 7.4 and 7.3 from source on a self-managed Ubuntu 20.04 server. I am encountering an issue with obtaining the epoch time. This is the command I am using: php -r "echo strftime('%s');” I expect the above to return epoch time (i.e. 1591628404 or thereabouts), but instead it returns -1. In my testing, running the above command on a vanilla Ubuntu LTS release with maintained `apt` packages returns the expected result. I am scratching my head about the configuration/compile differences between the working and non-working instances. It’s not clear to me whether the issue is with PHP compile/config setup, or operating system locale differences, or something else entirely. I am grateful for any advice or feedback. Thank you for reading, and thank you for your time. Please note: my working hours may not be your working hours. Please do not feel obligated to reply outside of your normal work schedule.
