In more than one place in the PHP documentation it refers to the order
in which the new Date/Time functionality determines the appropriate
time zone.
That order is:
1) the value set by date_default_timezone_set(), if any
2) the TZ environmental variable
3) the date.timezone php.ini option
4) "magical guess"
5) UTC
Is this indeed the actual order?
Would it not make more sense to prioritize the date.timezone php.ini
setting over the TZ environmental variable?
That way users who don't have control over their TZ environmental
variable (such as might be the case with some shared hosting
environments) could set the timezone in an htaccess file rather than
having to ensure they call date_timezone_default_set() in every script.
Of cause this still does nothing for the vast majority of hosting, where
it's the timezone/daylight saving of the client that you need, not the
server :(
