Bug #80082 [NEW]: Misleading documentation and API behaviour

From: test at web dot de Operating system: Windows PHP version: 7.3.22 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Misleading documentation and API behaviour Description: ------------ --- From manual page: https://php.net/timezones.others --- Sorry for interrupting.. I just want to point out to you, that what you have on the timezones-page is a GIANT mess from my point of view! You make all those standard ('other') timezones available, and I thank you for doing so. BUT you have a GIANT warning at top of the page, basically saying "don't touch!" - without giving a proper reason for not touching it (backwards compatibility.. but I WANT to use THOSE ones and not those summer-/wintertime dependent ones you provide for example via https://www.php.net/manual/de/timezones.php I don't see any reason, why I should not use them, and why I should switch to summer-/wintertime-based ones. I hope you just -remove the warnings- and decide to KEEP the 'other' timezones, because people might acutally HAVE TO use them. SECOND: concerning the second warning on the page GMT+x => GMT-x please fix this.. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80082&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80082&r=mysqlcfg
