Peter,
Try this. It may work
$indate = "Fri Oct 23 15:47:42 +0000 2009";
$outformat = "EEEE d MMM YYYY";
$date = new Zend_Date();
$date->setTimezone('Europe/Helsinki');
$datetime = strtotime($indate);
$date->set($datetime);
echo "Date: " . $date->toString($outformat);
echo "TimeZone: " . $date->getTimezone();
