You really do need to make the configuration setting as DR>>none of the code currently relies on any OS, and we should definitely DR>>keep it like that. Now, what we can do is document the list of DR>>setttings that you can use as timezone. The problem is I don't think there's even a place in the system that contains the value you want, let alone standard place. Which means, this configuration process is impossible to automate, which means, basically, that any app using date() can not be run on 5.1 without sysadmin manually reconfiguring PHP. I can not see why it should be the case, and I can not see why you can not use old code in such situation. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.115
