Code

function date_api_set_variables() {

  // Set absolute minimum and maximum year for dates on this site.
  // There is actually no maximum and minimum year in PHP 5, but a date with
  // a year less than 0 would result in negative ISO and DATETIME dates,
  // like -1250-01-01T00:00:00, which probably won't make sense or work
  // correctly anywhere.
  //
  // The odd construct of using variable_get() instead of variable_set()
  // is so we don't accidentally write over an existing value. If
  // no value is set, variable_get() will set it.
  variable_get('date_max_year', 4000);

  // but too many things break without it.

      'date_timezone',
    ));
  }

  // NULL is used for the default setting of date_default_timezone_name
  // to have a way to tell that no site timezone name has been implemented.
  // Otherwise, many functions would use 'UTC' incorrectly and
  // produce unreliable and odd results. This way functions can test for a
  // value and not use this if it is empty.
