PHP internally already has php_localtime_r and php_gmtime_r in main/php_reentrancy.h, implemented in main/reentrancy.c, and they are already used in various places in the code, including the guessing algorithm that is being removed in PHP 5.4. So at the very least thread-safety (and in fact portability too) should not become worse than it is now. > And if the host doesn't contain timezone data (embedded systems, > perhaps), that "System" zone could simply default to UTC.
