Everything else being there to simplify implementation of websites which anticipate a geographically narrow target audience? Anyway, I absolutely don't get why out of all the hundreds of ini settings that we have, some of them vastly more important than setting a timezone (like display_errors or error_reporting - newbies trip over these much more often), the only one we actually require you to specify is date.timezone. That seems very disproportional. Nikita
