Description Joe Orton 2008-04-03 10:33:27 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #266441 +++

Description of problem:
PHP 5 has a hard-coded copy of the timezone database in the "date" extension. 
It should be possible to change this to load the data from /usr/share/zoneinfo.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.1.6-12.el5
Comment 1 John Newbigin 2008-04-03 11:31:21 UTC 
Anyone needing a workaround (Like us poor AEST folk) can try installing

Comment 2 Joe Orton 2008-07-14 08:54:34 UTC 
This is fixed in 5.1.6-3.el4s1.9 and later:
