Bug description:  error_log ignores date.timezone php.ini val when setting logging timestamps

Description:
------------
I've noticed that changing the default PHP timezone using either php.ini
date.timezone or date_default_timezone_set appears to have no effect on the
timestamp used for each entry PHP writes to the file set by php.ini value
error_log (when php.ini log_errors = On)

It seems to use the system timestamp regardless. I've done some searching
on the web but found nothing and am afraid I'm not sure whether a bug or by
design but it seems strange enough to submit here

Reproduce code:
---------------
php.ini
-------
log_errors = On
error_log = myerrors.log

mycode.php
----------
error_reporting(E_STRICT);
date_default_timezone_set("UTC");
SOMEBADCONSTANT
date_default_timezone_set("Africa/Johannesburg");
ANOTHERBADCONSTANT

resulting myerrors.log
----------------------
[06-Jun-2008 00:41:34] PHP Notice:  Use of undefined constant
SOMEBADCONSTANT - assumed 'SOMEBADCONSTANT' in /prj/mycode.php on line 3
[06-Jun-2008 00:41:34] PHP Notice:  Use of undefined constant
ANOTHERBADCONSTANT - assumed 'ANOTHERBADCONSTANT' in /prj/mycode.php on
line 5


Expected result:
----------------
As Africa/Johannesburg is 2 hours ahead of UTC, I would have expected the
second myerrors.log entry to read
[06-Jun-2008 02:41:34] PHP Notice:  Use of undefined constant
ANOTHERBADCONSTANT - assumed 'ANOTHERBADCONSTANT' in /prj/mycode.php on
line 5

And even if the comment is that date_default_timezone_set has no effect, I
saw the same when changing date.timezone in php.ini 

The error logging appears to ignore it completely and simply use the
system time
