Hi!
* There will be a new time zone called System. When this time zone is active, instead of PHP's internal time zone database and timezone-aware code, system-provided local time APIs are used. In
Which APIs do you mean? I imagine it might be possible (note - just might be, no guarantees here) to get the system TZ data and use it in similar manner to existing TZ data if the formats are suitably close and all the info is available. However if you mean using actual system functions in parallel with timelib functions, that's probably not going to happen - there's too many problems with using two APIs simultaneously to do the same thing, not talking about portability, etc. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
