[Peter Sawczynec]

The government has permanently changed the start and end dates of
Daylight Savings Time (D.S.T.) 
for the entire U.S. to provide more "daylight" hours for productivity
and commerce.
 
The length of DST has been increased: a) starting two weeks earlier and
b) ending one week later. 
 
For reference:
 
NEW Daylight Savings Time Start/End Dates (beginning in 2007, this year,
now) 
- Start on 2nd Sunday in March -- March 11, 2007 
- End on 1st Sunday in November -- November 4, 2007
 
OLD Daylight Savings Time Start/End Dates  
- Started on 1st Sunday in April  
- Ended on the last Sunday of October  
 
As far as I can research it, the PHP built-in date() functions and the
special date("I") 
used to identify D.S.T. will not be accurate to match this recent change
and 
programmers will need to accommodate this D.S.T. change.
 
Do you know otherwise? And what are your plans? 
 
Don't forget to review your date code.
 
Warmest regards,
