01449: Cookbook/ChangeTimeFormat needs update

PHP: 5.1 - 7.1.26

Description:

The page

   https://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/ChangeTimeFormat

recommends using

   putenv("TZ=EST5EDT");

But that causes problems in PHP 7.1.26 .

The page

   https://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/InitialSetupTasks

on the contrary, says to use the above, only

   # if you run PHP 5.0 or older

For PHP 5.1 or newer, the InitialSetupTasks page says to use

   # date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York'); 

Also, where do we find a list of the time zones as depicted in the newer format?
(eg 'America/New_York')
A link must be given.
( I've found this... https://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php )

Might be duplicate of PITS.01227.

Thank you for reviewing and reporting. I've updated both InitialSetupTasks and ChangeTimeFormat. --Petko December 29, 2019, at 07:29 AM
