Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/timezones
---
There is no such timezone for Pakistan (an asian country).
When use Asia/Pakistan the PHP throws error saying not applicable.
Quite strange but it needs to be there.
Test script:
---------------
date_default_timezone_set('Etc/GMT+5');
echo "The time is " . date("h:i:sa");
// Output is 14 hours above the original time.
// Second case
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Pakistan');
echo "The time is " . date("h:i:sa");
// Output no error but time behind 3 hours to the original time.
Expected result:
----------------
Was expecting input for 'Asia/Pakistan' in date_default_timezone_set function which is
accepting the region but not giving expected current time of the region.
Actual result:
--------------
Not accurate/ false
