====== Timezone - php date() call fails ======
There is the timezone-stuff missing.

The directory: /usr/share/zoneinfo/ is empty.

copy the contents you need from another linux into this directory.
the run:
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
now the php-call date() shall work as supposed.
Attention on embedded boxes: the date() call of course returns the time in dependance of the system clock.
So if u really need this, u shall use a battery supported alix or something alike.

greetings,
Roland
