Re: timezone problem

I think these are system-specific. You'll probably have to check which time zone your machine understands. For instance, on this FreeBSD machine there are hundreds of them in /usr/share/zoneinfo but on other machines there are only a handful. In short, I believe it's an OS rather than a PHP thing. miguel On Mon, 20 May 2002, SP wrote: > I am trying to convert date/times to different > timezones using putenv but I am having problems > using the right TZ names.
