England is nicely isolated as well :)
Anyway, I see no reason not to keep it this way.
And default to the Jewish calendar as well ;) Time zero is Greenwich so shouldn't the location be that?
No, why? If I change it, it would be to 59.21 N, 9.608 E 0, 0 perhaps? 90 N, 0 E for Santa's workshop? Or, -90, 0 for the penguins? Do the constants NEED to exist?... :-v What does it hurt to have them stay as-is?

My only issue is that there is no documentation to describe what the values represent. I didn't realise that +ve longitude was East. If there is a good website that allows you to find your city/company/etc and then describe the location in values you can use in the PHP.INI file, then that would be useful. Alternatively, allowing the settings to be entered as 50 23 12.97N 31 57 07.74W as a single value which you get from a lot of map software (google earth for example). -- ----- Richard Quadling Zend Certified Engineer : http://zend.com/zce.php?c=ZEND002498&r=213474731 "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
