title: PHP Default Timezone issue on Fedora + Zend Server CE
body: <p>I have ZendServer CE (PHP 5.2) installed on a Fedora VM, and I have the system timezone set to 'America/Chicago'. I have date.timezone = 'UTC' in my php.ini file, and when I call date_default_timezone_get(), or display date('T') on a web page, it says 'CDT'.</p>
  
  <p>The documentation on php.net for date_default_timezone_get() says it follows this order when choosing a default timezone:</p>
  
  <pre><code> - Reading the timezone set using the
     date_default_timezone_set() function
     (if any)
   - Reading the TZ environment variable
     (if non empty)
   - Reading the value of the
     date.timezone ini option (if set)
   - Querying the host operating system
     (if supported and allowed by the OS)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I change the system timezone through the 'setup' GUI, and reboot the server, date('T') returns whatever I changed the system timezone to, regardless of what php.ini says. I also don't have a TZ environment variable, and I am not currently using date_default_timezone_set() anywhere in my code.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea what might be going on? I realize I can always override the system timezone by calling date_default_timezone_set('UTC'), but I'd rather rely on the php.ini file if possible.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the help,</p>
  
  <p>Dave</p>
