Re: drop TZ environment variable support in 5.4+?
hi,
For your information, TZ via environment has been removed from 5.4+.
It is not used anymore by the ext/date/lib/ functions, while strftime
and similar system's functions may need it. But the php's date
alternative should be used instead.
Cheers,
