#44592 [Opn]: usage of deprecated timezone UTC suggested

ID: 44592 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: bernhard at bksys dot at Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: any PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: UTC is not deprecated.. the message on that page is not 100% correct. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-01 13:03:48] bernhard at bksys dot at Description: ------------ http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.others.php , which lists the timezone UTC says: "Note: Please do not use any of the timezones listed here, they only exist for backward compatible reasons." OTOH http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php says: "timezone_identifier The timezone identifier, like UTC or Europe/Lisbon." Also, http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-get.php says: "If none of the above options succeeds, return UTC". I suggest to substitute UTC for something that does not exist for backward compatible reasons only. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44592&edit=1
