following script switches Timezones in PHP3
it does not work in PHP4

Is  there is an alternative not documented mechanism?

#--------------------
putenv("TZ=Europe/Rome");
echo date("Y/m/d H:i:s")." ".getenv("TZ")."<br>";

putenv("TZ=Asia/Seoul");
echo date("Y/m/d H:i:s")." ".getenv("TZ")."<br>";
#--------------------

I have now tesded tried the test script and it still does not behave correctely

The output is now unpredictable.
sometimes the timezone settings of Rome is used
and sometimes the timezone of Seoul is used 
both echo statements

(one run of test produces Seoul time)
2000/07/11 00:22:22 Europe/Rome
2000/07/11 00:22:22 Asia/Seoul

(another run of test producec Rome time)
2000/07/10 17:29:11 Europe/Rome
2000/07/10 17:29:11 Asia/Seoul
