This just happen to me because in the php ini the date timezone was not set       date timezone Europe Berlin   Using the php date   function triggered that warning

You need to set the default timezone smth like this    date default timezone set  Europe Bucharest      More info about this in http   php net manual en function date-default-timezone-set php  Or you could use   in front of date to suppress the warning however as the warning states it s not safe to rely on the servers default timezone

You could also use this   ini alter  date timezone   Asia Calcutta      You should call this before calling any date function  It accepts the key as the first parameter to alter PHP settings during runtime and the second parameter is the value   I had done these things before I figured out this    Changed the PHP timezone to  Asia Calcutta  - but did not work Changed the lat and long parameters in the ini - did not work Used date default timezone set  Asia Calcutta    - did not work Used ini alter   - IT WORKED Commented date default timezone set  Asia Calcutta    - IT WORKED Reverted the changes made to the PHP ini - IT WORKED   For me the init alter   method got it all working   I am running Apache 2  pre-installed   PHP 5 3 on OSX mountain lion
