Date/time support
Date/time support has been fully rewritten in PHP 5.1.x, and no longer uses
the system settings to 'know' the timezone in operation. It will instead
utilize, in the following order:
-
The timezone set using the date_default_timezone_set()
function (if any)
-
The TZ environment variable (if non empty)
-
"magical" guess (if the operating system supports it)
-
If none of the above options succeeds, UTC
The supported timezones are listed, in this format, in the
timezones appendix.
Also note that strtotime() now returns FALSE on
failure, instead of -1.
