Re: timezones & date() breakage

It looks like all become relaxed now here but not me. Here in Israel, there is stupid habit to change the DST range almost each year. Should i expect that today's php5.1 date() function 'll give me wrong date next year? If yes, we have here fatal BC break since modern server OS DST data is automatically refreshed, but out of the question the php version on my servers .... the only reasonable solution is separated set of functions as Pierre proposed.
