 Replying to [comment:5 chipbennett]:
 > WordPress minimum requirements are still PHP >= 4.3, while this option
 touted in 2.8 (automatic DST adjustment) appears not to work in PHP <
 5.2.6 (without a custom compile option, over which most self-installs on
 shared web hosts have no control).

 WordPress will run on PHP 4.3, but you won't get all the features (namely
 this one). There are quite a few things you can't do until you get to PHP
 5.2.0+ (anything less is not recommended, at least by me).

 I'm not sure the exact PHP version you need (I guess 5.1.0 based on your
 ticket), but I can assure you that you don't need a custom compile to do
 it. I have 3 different servers which are all running a normal version of
 PHP 5.2.x (two are .6, on is .9) and this feature works on all of them.
