I found two problems in Zend_Date document. http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…

1. typo 'date_defaut_timezone_set' should be 'date_default_timezone_set'.

2. ISO-8601 uncompliant data '10.03.2007 00:00:00' should be '2007-10-03 00:00:00'.

Here is a patch for Zend_Date-Additional.xml

// Set a default timezone... this has to be done within the bootstrap file or php.ini // We do this here just for having a complete example -date_defaut_timezone_set('Europe/Vienna'); +date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Vienna');
