Description:
------------
Every year my DST settings change, and I need to reconfigure my zone file DST start and ending times in all my servers (BSD, Linux and Windows).
I make the changes correctly to turn DST on in Nov 5 (default was Oct 15), every linux system accepted that change (including Apache), but php date command returns my time with DST on.
This problem doesn?t occur in a Windows Server, in this machine PHP returns time correctly.

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo date("l, d  F  Y,  H:i - T - I")

returns DST turned on. (after Oct 15 and before Nov 5)

zdump zone file (Brazil/East)

Brazil/East  Sun Nov  5 02:59:59 2006 UTC = Sat Nov  4 23:59:59 2006 BRT isdst=0 gmtoff=-10800
Brazil/East  Sun Nov  5 03:00:00 2006 UTC = Sun Nov  5 01:00:00 2006 BRT isdst=1 gmtoff=-7200
Brazil/East  Sun Feb 25 01:59:59 2007 UTC = Sat Feb 24 23:59:59 2007 BRT isdst=1 gmtoff=-7200
Brazil/East  Sun Feb 25 02:00:00 2007 UTC = Sat Feb 24 23:00:00 2007 BRT isdst=0 gmtoff=-10800

Install http://pecl.php.net/timezonedb which has all the latest definitions.

It worked on my linux box! I still need to compile it in my BSD. But I?d like to inform that timezonedb is poorly documented. If you use a debian box, it?s necessary to have php-dev pack installed and also create a symlink from /usr/include/php5 to /usr/include/php, otherwise it won?t compile. As soon as I install it on my BSD I give some more feedback, and then close de case.

I compiled timezonedb in my FreeBSD box, not different issues compilation was easy, and there?s no patches or symlinks neccessary to make compilation work.

But unfortunatelly it didn?t work, as you can see in the url:
www5.webcorensp.org.br/numero , DST is still on.

On a Debian everything works fine, it can be comproved in URL
www4.webcorensp.org.br/numero

This seems to be a FreeBSD only issue. I just released a new version of the timezonedb package (2006.14.1) that should address this problem.

After applying the new timezonedb version over the older one everything now works fine.
