Description:
------------
One of the parameters of array returned by the localtime is the daylight savings flag(tm_isdst). If you change the system time via shell command and then execute a PHP script which calls localtime() from the browser (not from shell, this is important), then you will find that localtime is returning wrong daylight savings flag. Unless one does a hard webserver restart localtime does not 
reflect the changes.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

That\'s how it works ... isn\'t a PHP issue either, merely an operating system one.
