By saying PHP programmers I mean people using PHP to write programs and not 
developers of the PHP language. I'm saying 'most' since the majority of 
dynamic web pages are written in PHP. Of course anyone writting non-static 
web content will be able to use it.

I've already thought about providing the full time but I didn't find any 
applications. Can you provide some examples about its usage? How can you tell 
whether a user has wrong time and not wrong timezone?
