Description:
------------
The time zone Europe/Paris gives a wrong time.

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Paris');
should be the same as :
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Madrid');	

but there is a 6 hour difference.

Are you sure you haven't done something else wrong?  I just fired up a Centos VM 
and tried it:

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Paris');
echo date("H:i:s");
echo "\n";
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Madrid');
echo date("H:i:s");

The output is:

18:08:25
18:08:25

No 6-hour difference there.

Looks fine to me..

[david@lyon ~]$ php t.php 
int(1279996161)
string(25) "2010-07-24T20:29:21+02:00"
[david@lyon ~]$ cat t.php 
<?php
var_dump(time());
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Paris');
var_dump(date('c'));

Ramus,

My code is : 
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Paris');
echo date('H:i e') .'<br />';
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Madrid');
echo date('H:i e') ;

You can try it at : www.accessprinting.fr/test/test.php

Centos patches PHP's date/time stuff in odd ways. This works fine.
