=====
Returns the current time as a Unix timestamp, referenced either to your
-server's local time or GMT, based on the "time reference" setting in
-your config file. If you do not intend to set your master time reference
-to GMT (which you'll typically do if you run a site that lets each user
-set their own timezone settings) there is no benefit to using this
+server's local time or any PHP suported timezone, based on the "time reference"
+setting in your config file. If you do not intend to set your master time reference
+to any other PHP suported timezone (which you'll typically do if you run a site that
+lets each user set their own timezone settings) there is no benefit to using this
function over PHP's time() function.
