So ya, after reading the above posts, I did just this: created a brand new php.ini file and just put in: date.timezone = America/Los_Angeles Voila! Errors gone. So something screwy in the original php.ini file. I will see if I can dig it out. Thanks everyones help! I greatly appreciate it.

So just for giggles, I renamed my php.ini file to php.ini.bak and restarted apache. I loaded up test.php file again and it still shows the error. It did say that it did NOT read a configuration file. "Loaded configuration file: (none)" Is what was displayed in the interface. This is very odd.

Ya, tried that but no luck. I think I am going to rebuild PHP, see if that makes a difference. Worth a shot.

hehehe... Looks like i found a doozy of a weird issue.

Here is a snippet from the php.ini file: ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Module Settings ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; [Date] ; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions ; http://php.net/date.timezone date.timezone = "America/New_York" ; http://php.net/date.default-latitude ;date.default_latitude = 31.7667 ; http://php.net/date.default-longitude ;date.default_longitude = 35.2333 ; http://php.net/date.sunrise-zenith ;date.sunrise_zenith = 90.583333 ; http://php.net/date.sunset-zenith ;date.sunset_zenith = 90.583333 [filter] ; http://php.net/filter.default ;filter.default = unsafe_raw ; http://php.net/filter.default-flags ;filter.default_flags = I appreciate the help.

That was a mistype in my thread. It is correct in the php.ini file.

I will give that a shot. Whats the best way to do that when editing php.ini? Is it: display_errors: Off ? Thx

Yep. Restarted apache several times. Here is from the config page: Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/local/etc Loaded Configuration File /usr/local/etc/php.ini Scan this dir for additional .ini files /usr/local/etc/php And on my FreeBSD box, I did a find to locate all php.ini files: secids# find / -type f -name php.ini -print /usr/local/etc/php.ini It only found the one, which is what I have been editing. This does have a MySQL database on the backend. Could that have anything to do with it? Thx TCG

Hey everyone. I was hoping to get some help on something that I am working on. First, I hope this is the right place to post this. Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum. I am new to PHP as I work mostly as a Sys Admin. Recently, I have been working on a project running a number of applications on PHP. I configured a box and a PHP application that has a web interface. Everything looks good except for when I log into the web interface. I am greeted with this message: Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Los_Angeles' for 'PDT/-7.0/DST' instead in /usr/local/www/base/base_main.php on line 138n I have done a lot of research trying to figure out what is causing this. A lot of websites and posts on other sites suggested that the fix would be to make a change in the php.ini file in the : date.timezone section. I did make that change, however the issue still persists. I decided to make a quick test.php file to read the configuration file and see if I can get additional information. I opened up the test.php web page and made sure I was reading the correct configuration file. Which, according to the test page, I am. Moving forward, under the DATE section of the test.php file, I see this: Warning: phpinfo() [function.phpinfo]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Los_Angeles' for 'PDT/-7.0/DST' instead in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/test.php on line 2 Which is what I see as well when I log into the application's interface. Under that date section, it says the following: Default timezone -- America/Los_Angeles Which is my timezone. For a test, I changed the "date.timezone" section in my php.ini file to "America/New York", restarted apache and loaded the config file backup. Looking at the date section again, the error is still there and the DEFAULT TIMEZONE is still pointing to "America/Los_Angeles". So it appears that its not reading my config file or I am completely missing something. Here is the full section of the DATE part of the test.php file: date/time support enabled "Olson" Timezone Database Version 2011.4 Timezone Database internal Default timezone America/Los_Angeles Directive Local Value Master Value date.default_latitude 31.7667 31.7667 date.default_longitude 35.2333 35.2333 date.sunrise_zenith 90.583333 90.583333 date.sunset_zenith 90.583333 90.583333 date.timezone no value no value I have been trying to figure this out for the past few day with no luck. I was hoping someone might be able to help me out here. Thanks for the help. TCG
