ID: 38735 User updated by: cyril at bouthors dot org Reported By: cyril at bouthors dot org -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: any PHP Version: latest New Comment: I followed the link "Complete timezone information for all countries" on the tz website and I've seen that Madagascar is clearly listed in Africa, not Asia : http://home.tiscali.nl/~t876506/TZworld.html#afr This is a bug in PHP. Please fix http://ch2.php.net/manual/en/timezones.asia.php Thanks. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-08 10:43:12] cyril at bouthors dot org Ok. I will contact http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-08 09:41:47] derick@php.net It's not a PHP issue then, as we use an external library. See for the contact details: http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-08 09:26:47] cyril at bouthors dot org 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-07 07:01:32] derick@php.net This is how the timezone database is built, so that's how we document it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-07 06:47:11] mjsabby at gmail dot com Indian ocean has everything to with India. It is named after the country. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
