Destramic Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 ok all updated and these errors come up which i never seen before Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'DateTime::__construct() [<a href='datetime.--construct'>datetime.--construct</a>]: 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 'Europe/London' for '1.0/DST' instead' in C:\www\private\application\controllers\tournaments_controller.class.php:30 Stack trace: #0 C:\www\private\application\controllers\tournaments_controller.class.php(30): DateTime->__construct('2011-10-06') #1 [internal function]: Tournaments_Controller->tournament('counter-strike', 'test') #2 C:\www\private\library\action\action.class.php(47): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #3 C:\www\private\library\dispatcher\dispatcher.class.php(101): Action->dispatch('tournament', Array) #4 C:\www\private\library\front_controller\front_controller.class.php(132): in <b>C:\www\private\application\controllers\tournaments_controller.class.php</b> on line <b>30</b><br /> help please Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/248839-diffrence-between-two-dates/#findComment-1277915 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbones Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Yes, with the latest version, PHP wants you to specify the timezone with date_default_timezone_set.
