Need help with Warning: date() [function.date]: in blocked.php

[Function]

I'm getting this Time Zone error.

Perhaps it's a compatibility issue with PHP 5.3. Looked all over for an answer without finding one.

Here is the error 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/New_York' for 'EST/-5.0/no DST'

instead in /blocked.php on line 41

12/02/12

 

Here is the code. Line 41 is near the bottom, the one with the d,m,y.  Perhaps the echo date (d/m/y") needs to be changed. Appreciate any help!

 

   <table border="3" width="16%" align="center" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FF6600" bordercolor="red" bordercolordark="red" bordercolorlight="red">
                            <tr>
                                    <td width="176">

                                            <p align="center"><?php // shows IP Number on Page
            echo $ip; ?> </p>

                                    </td>
                            </tr>
                    </table>
                    <p align="center"><?php // Show the user agent
        echo 'Your user agent is: <b>'.$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'].'</b><br />';?></p>
                    [b]<h1 align="center"><?php echo date("d/m/y");?></h1>[/b]
            </td>
    </tr>
</table
[,code]

You haven't set a default timezone in the php.ini.

[Function]

You haven't set a default timezone in the php.ini.

 

Added

date_default_timezone_set('America/Toronto');

 

Still getting the error. Is there more code that needed to added to php.ini?

[darkfreaks]

are you including the function call in each file???

 

 

also  as mentioned in the php.ini file needs to be changed to that timezone.

date.timezone="America/Toronto"

 

if you can't access the php.ini make a .htcaccess file and do this....

php_flag date.timezone ="America/Toronto"
