How to update timezonedb in PHP (updating timezones info)?

phpinfo() shows our system to be using \"\"Olson\" Timezone Database Version 2010.3\". I think that is now out of date, but can\'t locate an authoritative locatio

The PECL extension is literally the timezone DB. Every time a new version of the DB is released from here, the extension is recompiled with the updated timezone DB.

So, you would actually overwrite the old extension with newly recompiled version and restart your web server; assuming PHP is being used as a module.
