Status in Open Source php gui type development framework.: Fix Released

Bug description:
There are some function calls within PHPDevShell that uses the DateTimeZone and DateTime PHP classes. I discovered that the DateTimeZone seemingly causes the script to hang if it's constructor is called with an empty parameter. I'm not sure if DateTime will do the same thing.

The following statement within the $core->user_server_tz_diff() function will cause the script to hang if the $configuration['user_timezone'] variable is null/empty.

$tz = new DateTimeZone($configuration['user_timezone']);

I recommend that any function using the DateTime and DateTimeZone classes should check that the parameters they pass to the constructors of these classes are never empty to avoid the script from hanging.
