Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone

So I set the date.timezone in php.ini and restarted the server but I still get this warning:

 

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

 

This is what I set it to date.timezone = "America/New_York"

Then you didn't set it in the right place. Are you sure it was the right php.ini? What does phpinfo() say about the INI files parsed (at the top) and the various settings (in a big section later)?

according to php_info the loaded conf file is /private/etc/php.ini and thats the one I changed.

Is the setting uncommented in the file (no ; before it)?

Yes i removed the ;

 

Also I am editing as root.

If you're using Apache, did you stop and start it?

yes

ok so the problem was these lines in php.ini file:

 

;  Default Value: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

;  Development Value: E_ALL | E_STRICT

;  Production Value: E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED

 

I was getting this error when I ran php -v in the terminal:

PHP:  parse error in /private/etc/php.ini on line 111

 

Just commented those out and it works now ... I wonder if I'm just not getting the date.timezone error because I commented out the error reporting stuff

Those lines are meant as examples, and should never have been uncommented. What does phpinfo() show for your error_reporting and display_errors values?

[ballhogjoni]

display_errors Off Off

display_startup_errors Off Off

error_log no value no value

error_reporting 22527 22527

[Pikachu2000]

While you're developing, you should have error_reporting = -1 and display_errors = On directives in your php.ini file.

ya I tried that but the phpinfo still reports that display_errors is Off
