Description:
------------
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php

In the TIME / DATE sections of your site, There are very few references to the

PHP_TZ - Timezone area of PHp - this can be very useful..

EG :-

Example shown :- http://nz2.php.net/localtime

notes :-

(I didnt put that there)

- Ive been looking for Some time,  & the 
putenv( "PHP_TZ=Europe/Berlin" );

That command can be very useful to me - & does exactly what  I want / Need

- Ps -  Can it also be added to the side-menu too..

- ALSo - a list of known timezones that PHP recognises ??

Thanks...



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
   print "<HTML><body><pre>";
  
   setlocale( "LC_ALL", "de_DE" );
  
   putenv( "PHP_TZ=Europe/Berlin" );
  
   $now = time();
  
   print_r( localtime(time(),true) );
   print_r( getdate() );
  
   print date("H:i:s");
   print date("T");
  
?>

PHP doesn't recognize PHP_TZ environment variable. There's TZ environment variable which values are system specific and same for all applications AFAIK.

Marking as bogus.
