Description
In the server logs there is an error:
"date() [<a href='function.date'>function.date</a>]: 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."
The fix is to set the timezone in PHP.ini. The following line needs added somewhere in PHP.ini:
date.timezone = "UTC"
Note: This is universal time. The user may want to change it their timezone setting.
Prior to PHP 5.3 this was not an issue. This just simply cleans up the install and the logs.
