ID: 38735 User updated by: cyril at bouthors dot org Reported By: cyril at bouthors dot org -Status: Bogus +Status: Open -Bug Type: Documentation problem +Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: any -PHP Version: Irrelevant +PHP Version: latest New Comment: Please have a look at this map of Asia: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/middle_east_and_asia/asia_pol00.jpg and tell me where Madagascar is because I can't find it on the map. Madagascar must not appear in the section "Asia" of the timezone database. I agree with you on the fact it's not a documentation issue but a bug in the timezone database. I reassign this bug to the feature request category.
