Re: php date bug ?

Just to throw one more unwelcome cat amongst the pigeons.. Different countries/time zones have summer time, I think almost all countries do, but the actual days when they switch vary from country (yes I know, bloody nusiance isn't it?) I know as an example of this theres about three weeks of the year where new york is 6 hours behing UK, and the rest its only 5.
