We are happy to tell you that you just discovered Daylight Savings
Time. For more information see:

Instead of using mktime/date consider using gmmktime and gmdate which
do
not suffer from DST.

Description:
------------
date() doesn't account for daylights savings & am/pm returns
incorrectly. The date("I") returns 0 even though it should return 1.
Here is system info produced by phpinfo():

:Linux p3slh166.shr.phx3.secureserver.net 2.4.21-53.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed
Nov 14 03:54:12 EST 2007 i686

The server is not dedicated.
Would appreciate any help you could give!

Reproduce code:
---------------
date("Y-m-d h:i a); //returns am times as pm and is 1 hour ahead.
