This is also why DateTime is useless for many data handling functions since having to work with 'long hand' for something which is essentially a simple integer value is a heavy overhead. We are stuck with using Timezone management since there is nothing reasonably reliable as an alternative, but we only need timezone to DISPLAY the right text, not manage the raw dates. An alternate date/time variable is essential anyway, which is why some of these discussions are so utterly pointless anyway. date and time are as essential to any system as integer and float but all anybody seems to be bothered about is the same limited subset of 'types' ? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
