Last point, can you rename date_timezone_* to date_default_timezone_*?

Yes, but it's too long. Can we come up with something better? Derick

Sorry, but I still didn't understand why the need for those functions.. You can change the precendence in the TZ guess internal function and you can drop that functions safely. And without BC break, as the default for the ini option is "", that means it will default to the TZ env var. Or there is something else I don't know/understand?

TZ Env is painfull. Not always (or always not?) thread safe. Ini settings cannot be changed in safe mode.

Are you sure? php -a <? echo ini_get('safe_mode'); ini_set('date.timezone', 'Portugal'); echo ini_get('date.timezone'); ?> outputs: 1 Portugal Nuno
