Crazy Error... Fix it?
 

ERROR MESSAGE: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable 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/Denver' for 'MST/-7.0/no DST' instead

How do I fix that? Like, server setting-wise. (if thats the problem)

Can we see the code please?

[php]
<?php
date();
?>

Sounds like it's an issue with the date.timezone setting in your php.ini config file. In PHP 5 you can set this prior to using date() (as mentioned in the error message) with date_default_timezone_set() function.

Your code is still incorrect, however. You haven't passed a formatting parameter to date().

Did you or the server change anything about the timestamp (Apoch 1970)? If so, reset it. This is a totally not common error.

Infact it is a very common error :-) PHP5 requires you to set the default timezone before using any date functions.

If you are unable to do this in your php.ini file, then you can use date_default_timezone_set() as Sock mentioned.

Example:

Note about the default timezone requirement: PHP: date - Manual (see the Errors/Exception part)
List of supported timezones: PHP: List of Supported Timezones - Manual

And finally, attached is a PHP file with all the above timezones in an array. I use it to generate a <select> dropdown list to let the users set their own timezone.

Awesome, another thing I didn't know. Thanks Alan
