To clarify kay's note below, when given an empty or invalid timezone string, this function does issue a warning, but it still returns boolean(FALSE) just like the documentation says.

In case of an empty identifier the function returns a warning, not the boolean 'false'.



"Warning: timezone_open() [function.timezone-open]: Unknown or bad timezone () "
