Hi Shaun.

I've already done this (because I thought it was ignoring other settings too) 
but it was using the correct php.ini. (I had missed one of the settings I 
needed to change). However, it still ignores the timezone entry, while 
allowing it quite happily inside my php scripts. I'll have to wait for BST to 
start to see how/if  it handles that okay.

Thanks anyway

Gary
