And you might have to do something like this for your old entries when going from UM6 (CDT) to UM5 (CST) and using "fixed" dates (field_id is 394).

update exp_channel_data SET field_dt_394 = 'UM5';

Or switch everything to localized using (field_id is 394).

update exp_channel_data SET field_dt_394 = '';

PHP 5.2 version:

$dateTime = new DateTime();
$dateTime->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('America/Chicago'));
$date = getdate();
$dateTime->setDate($date['year'], $date['mon'], $date['mday']);
$dateTime->setTime($date['hours'], $date['minutes'], $date['seconds']);
$conf['daylight_savings'] = $dateTime->format('I') ? 'y' : 'n';

America/New_york should be America/New_York, no? http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.america.php
