PHP Configuration It is not safe to rely on the system s timezone settings

Question

Here a weird one   I just upgrade to php 5 3 0 and since the upgrade I m getting the following warning      Warning  getdate    function getdate     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 Chicago  for    CST -6 0 no DST    After looking in various forums  everybody says that to solve the problem  all you have to do is edit the date zone in the php ini and restart Apache   It did not work for me    I tried    date timezone  America New York   date timezone America New York  date timezone  US Central    Restarted apache after I made the change   Since I still have the older version of php install  I even made sure that I m editing the php ini that the current version of php uses at the time to load    usr local php5 lib php ini  Still getting the warning    Any suggestions    Thanks for taking the time

Obviously I m a little out of season on this question but for the benefit of the next sufferer  I just had this problem and in my case  in contrast to OP who tried the same without success  the fix was to revise php ini  changing   date timezone   America New York   to   date timezone   America New York   That is adding the underscore

Tchalvak  who commented on the original question  hit the nail on the head for me  I ve been editing  I use Debian     etc php5 apache2 php ini      which had the correct timezone for me and was the only  ini file being loaded with date timezone within it  but I was receiving the above error when I ran a script through Bash  I had no idea that I should have been editing    etc php5 cli php ini   as well   Well  for me it was  as well   for you it might be different of course  but I m going to keep my Apache and CLI versions of php ini synchronised now

I happened to have to set up Apache  amp  PHP on two laptops recently  After much weeping and gnashing of teeth  I noticed in phpinfo s output that  for whatever reason  not paying attention during PHP install  bad installer  Apache expected php ini to be somewhere where it wasn t    Two choices     put it where Apache thinks it should be or  point Apache at the true location of your php ini       and restart Apache  Timezone settings should be recognized at that point
