Description:
------------
Date function parses correct unix timestamp in PHP 5.0.3 but not in PHP 5.2.4.

I have set the timezone of the webserver to Casablanca Morroco which is a timezone that does not observe ANY daylight savings changes (i.e. it is a constant time) even though the server is physically located in San Diego USA.

Reproduce code:
---------------
date("Y-m-d @ g:i", 1190671200);

Expected result:
----------------
//Expected 2007-09-25 @ 8:00

Actual result:
--------------
//Produces 2007-09-25 @ 9:00

What's the output of:

<?php
echo ini_get( 'date.timezone' ), "\n";
echo date_default_timezone_get(), "\n";

?>

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately you are not using a current version of PHP -- 
the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new
PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.

You wrote in your report that you were using PHP 5.2.4, but it's actually 5.0.3. Upgrade first.
