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

Monday 10 December 2007 10:23:00 am

I am getting this error in both Linux and Windows. I tried to change my time to American-Central but no help.

Strict Standards: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: 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/Chicago' for '-6.0/no DST' instead in C:\xampp\htdocs\lib\ezutils\classes\ezdebug.php on line 879

I found a quick fix for this error. Here is a link to the video until I can get my Jing fixed.

Here are the lines of code:

LIne: 879 in ezdebug.php

$time = "nan" /*strftime( "%b %d %y %H:%M:%S", strtotime( "now" ) )*/;

Line: 124 ezlog.php

/* $logFile = @fopen( $fileName, "a" );
if ( $logFile )
{
$time = strftime( "%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S", strtotime( "now" ) );
$logMessage = "[ " . $time . " ] [" . $dir . $name . "]\n";
@fwrite( $logFile, $logMessage );
@fclose( $logFile );
if ( !$fileExisted )
@chmod( $fileName, 0666 );
@umask( $oldumask );
}

Read this thread for other ways to set timezone:
http://ez.no/developer/forum/install_configuration/timezone_on_php5_unstabel_version_solved

4.0beta introduced the possibility to set it from site.ini for those that don't have access to apache / php config files, this is also explained in the above url.
