What is the exact error message you are getting?

 

It is probably telling you that you need to call date_default_timezone_set first.

 

To save calling this function every script you can set the timezone in your php.ini file

You seriously bumped your thread after TWO MINUTES?

 

Anyway a quick google search led me to the PHP manual page for date_default_timezone_set() (The actual error message probably would have been faster, but you declined to provide it). On that page is the following information:

 

Note:

Since PHP 5.1.0 (when the date/time functions were rewritten), every call to a date/time function will generate a E_NOTICE if the timezone isn't valid, and/or a E_WARNING message if using the system settings or the TZ environment variable.

 

So you should probably use that function to set the timezone in your PHP script.
