IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZone - Sets formatters timezone

	Object oriented style

SYNOPSIS

       public boolean IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZone (mixed  $zone)

DESCRIPTION

	Procedural style
       boolean datefmt_set_timezone (mixed  $zone)

	Sets the timezone that will be used when formatting dates or times with this object.

PARAMETERS

	      o $zone
		- The timezone to use for this formatter. This can be specified in the following forms:

		     o NULL,  in  which case the default timezone will be used, as specified in the ini setting date.timezone or through the func-
		       tion date_default_timezone_set(3) and as returned by date_default_timezone_get(3).

		     o An IntlTimeZone, which will be used directly.

		     o A DateTimeZone. Its identifier will be extracted and an ICU timezone object will be created; the timezone will be backed by
		     ICUs database, not PHPs.

		     o A
		       string,	which should be a valid ICU timezone identifier. See IntlTimeZone.createTimeZoneIDEnumeration(3). Raw offsets such
		       as "GMT+08:30" are also accepted.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success and FALSE on failure.

	      IntlDateFormatter.setTimeZone(3) examples

	      <?php
	      ini_set('date.timezone', 'Europe/Amsterdam');

	      $formatter = IntlDateFormatter::create(NULL, NULL, NULL, "UTC");

	      $formatter->setTimeZone(NULL);
	      echo "NULL
    ", $formatter->getTimeZone()->getId(), "
";

	      $formatter->setTimeZone(IntlTimeZone::createTimeZone('Europe/Lisbon'));
	      echo "IntlTimeZone
    ", $formatter->getTimeZone()->getId(), "
";

	      $formatter->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone('Europe/Paris'));
	      echo "DateTimeZone
    ", $formatter->getTimeZone()->getId(), "
";

	      $formatter->setTimeZone('Europe/Rome');
	      echo "String
	", $formatter->getTimeZone()->getId(), "
";

	      $formatter->setTimeZone('GMT+00:30');
	      print_r($formatter->getTimeZone());

	      The above example will output:

	      NULL
		  Europe/Amsterdam
	      IntlTimeZone
		  Europe/Lisbon
	      DateTimeZone
		  Europe/Paris
	      String
		  Europe/Rome
	      IntlTimeZone Object
	      (
		  [valid] => 1
		  [id] => GMT+00:30
