Description:
------------
Using Stock PHP5.2.1 msi package downloaded from php.net (Same bug appeared in php-4.3.11)  Apache version=2.0.53

Problem: The first time that TZ is set, that value becomes the new default for future php runs.

This doesn't appear to be like bug #37908 as the apache logs timestamps are not changed.

PHP Configure line:
cscript /nologo configure.js "--enable-snapshot-build" "--with-gd=shared" 

Apache config:
PHPIniDir "D:/PHP5/"
LoadModule php5_module "D:\\PHP5\\php5apache2.dll"

Come comments:
- don't use the TZ env var for setting timezones
- don't use broken timezone identifiers like CST6DST
See:
- http://no.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php
- http://no.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

date_default_timezone() addresses it.  This will not work for php4 though which is no longer a concern for me.  Thanks.
 [2007-03-28 14:15 UTC] vaughn at solarword dot net
Make that date_default_timezone_set();
