#5577 — Date/Time warning

I get a warning about timezones when using date(). Is there something 
new in PHP, I've
just migrated from one mac to another.

Probably you should configure default time zone in php.ini.

Thankyou, cool - but I can't find php.ini. Could you give me
a little more help. I should probably write something like
Europe/Copenhagen, but what is the directive exactly?

(1) Build and loaded the database, but can not do a locate - says the database
is not there - in strict contradiction with a repitition of the build command
which claims that it (the database is there) ... HOP!

Anyway, where does php.ini normally exist - on a UNIX system, or a Mac or
whatever it is.

Fix your system.  And where it exists is dependent on your version of 
Linux.  There is no one place on all systems.

Alternatively, look up phpinfo().

Googling suggests that it's likely to be in /private/etc/php.ini *but* 
you may have instead /private/etc/php.ini.default - in which case you 
need to copy it:

cd /private /etc
cp php.ini.default php.ini

Disclaimer - this is what I found with google, I have no knowledge of the 
accuracy and veracity of this solution!

locate(1) will not yield useful results unless updatedb(1) had been run on 
that system first and the directories in question are included in the 
indexing and the user running updatedb(1) has had permission to read the 
pertinent directories and files.  There is no requirement that – assuming 
the findutils are even installed – updatedb(1) be run as a root cron job on 
a Linux-based system.  If updatedb(1) had been run, locate(1) may very well 
yield several paths for php.ini as each server version and PHP variant (in 
particular (PHP Apache module and PHP CLI) likely will have its own 
configuration.

Bottom line: In 9 of 10 cases the output of `locate php.ini' is completely 
useless.

When in doubt, call phpinfo() in the *same* PHP program first.  It tells you 
where php.ini for that program is located and what *other* configuration 
files are considered that may very well contain the setting in question 
(which is especially common on Linux-based systems because of convenient 
package management for PHP extensions), so as to avoid modifying the wrong 
file or duplicating settings (with adverse effect on the duplicate or the 
duplicated setting).

It is located where phpinfo() says it is.  RTFM.

I wouldn't say it's new (it's been around for several years). You've 
carefully ignored the error message but it contains a complete 
explanation of what you must do, something like this:

Warning: date() [http://es.php.net/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 
'Europe/Paris' for '2.0/DST' instead

Always read error messages: they are there to help, not to annoy, and 
they normally contain useful info.

P.S. You can find the path for your "php.ini" file with this script:

<?php

phpinfo();

You've upgraded to a version that needs it. I do this in any CLI PHp 
script I run, if I'm going to use any time/date function:

$timezone = getHosttimezone ();  // Ask system for time zone
date_default_timezone_set ($timezone);

Since most of my scripts are run by apache, I also do this in the 
httpd.conf file:

php_value date.timezone 'timezone-string'

where you replace timezone-string with the string for your time-zone. 
Under OS X 10.7.3, this file is at:

/private/etc/apache/httpd.conf


php.ini.default can be found at:

/private/etc/php.ini.default

You probably want to copy that to php.ini in the same directory and then 
edit as others have suggested.
