And it only needs an hour to kick it back into the right date I found. time() and date() return correctly, its just strtotime that pulls from EST instead of EDT for some reason....
Quite strange, but it is fixed in PHP5, so nothing to worry about i think. If you don't want to upgrade, you can use the fix i provided, It doesn't harm. Also you might be able to set the timezone to something outside a EST/EDT region. (like the netherlands (CET)) but of course when doing that, time and date wouldn't return the right values... Tijnema
