This is probably a stupid question, but why isn't there a default setting? And why can't the missing default setting be set by the system date() data?
That's exactly what I was trying to do, except the fall back abbreviations (IDT) didn't all link to timezone IDs yet (Asia/Tel_Aviv).
Carrying on the stupid questions: Is it possible to make a better 'guess' in the case that there are name-collisions or missing names and no ini setting is set? Perhaps something like determining the current offset from UTC and just choosing the first matching timezone (as well as throwing a E_STRICT error). George
