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.
Reproduce code:
---------------
add link to supported timezones to date_default_timezone_get()
RCS file:
/repository/phpdoc/en/reference/datetime/functions/date-default-timezone-get.xml,v
retrieving revision 1.3
diff -u -r1.3 date-default-timezone-get.xml
