From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: add more information about supported timezones
Description: ------------ There is currently no information about the supported timezones from the datetime section of the manual. Also from the timezone listing there is no link to the pecl::timezonedb package. So users might be misled to believe they need to upgrade PHP to update their timezones. The following patches are untested and probably need some tweaking from a phpdoc/docbook expert.
