Description:
------------
It would be nice to make localtime() to use the current time as a default if the passed time argument is NULL.
Reason: It makes a lot of extra work if the localtime call is called with an optional timestamp parameter passed from outside

Test script:
---------------
localtime(is_null($iTime) ? time() : $iTime)

should be shorter:

localtime($iTime)

where time is a timestamp or null for the current time. At the moment NULL is interpreted as 0 which is not what (at least) I expect.

Looks like localtime does exactly what you were looking for in supported versions of PHP: https://3v4l.org/rMVlY
