New Comment:
By the way I do have E_ALL turned on, on my machine. After all I don't
run my windows box with PHP in production. I use my windows box for
development. Our PHP production runs on OpenBSD servers.
I don't quite understand this comment of yours:
"Now, if we can find a way how PHP can guess the correct timezone from
your windows box "
PHP 5.0.4 reads my TZ perfectly and gives you the expected result. Why
would PHP 5.1.X not be able to?

okay I figured out how to set my time zone.
I ran the following code in PHP 5.0.4 and PHP 5.1.X and recieved the
same result
putenv("TZ=US/Central");
echo date('r', (strtotime('oct 25')+(86400*6)));
This would mean the bug is simply that PHP5.1.X is not looking at the
time zone on the local machine.

That function is only there in the snapshots, please try that instead.
http://snaps.php.net (and pick latest cvs (5.1-dev) there).

Now, if we can find a way how PHP can guess the correct timezone from
your windows box (like it can do on most unices) that would be nice -
but I think it's quite impossible.
BTW, if you use error_reporting(E_ALL) you'd have gotten a warning
about this...

I tried adding that line to the top of my code. I am not familar with
that function nor do I find it in the documentation. I get a fatal
error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function date_default_timezone_set()
when I run this script:
date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York");
echo date('r', (strtotime('oct 25')+(86400*6)));
I would agree with you in your conclusion though that it would appear
that PHP 5.1.X is not reading the timezone of the local machine.

Oh now I understand Czimi comment. If PHP 5.1.X is not looking at the
time zone on my XP box then it is not going to know that Oct 30th is
daylight savings time. I think Czimi is probably right, PHP 5.1.X is
not looking at the time zone my my XP box.
