timezone offset and apache/php


I noticed a strange thing last week.  After the time change for Daylight Saving time, the internal time on this blog was off.  When I entered a new post via xmlrpc, the resulting post would appear an hour in the future.


After some investigation, I realized that the date php command was returning the local time, but with the time zone offset that corresponds to before the time change.  Once I restarted apache, the offset got reported correctly.
