It is also a bit of a headache when a server does not have a complete timezone database for an application to utilize. PHP did use the system timezone database for a long time. But, applications like Phorum would have to end up making their own (and not nearly as robust) anyway because servers would not have all the timezones on the system. The new way of PHP solves this for application developers. -1000 -- Brian Moon Senior Developer ------------------------------ When you care enough to spend the very least. http://dealnews.com/
