Hey guys,

I'm trying to set up a dummy server on a virtual machine. PHP, HTML, MySQL are all working. However, I ran into a slight PHP error as shown below:

Nexenta Core 1.0.1 (OpenSolaris 20080311, b85)
PHP 5.1.2
MySQL 5.0.22
Quicksilver Forums 1.4.2

Any help will be appreciated.

could you please post the error text ? It's difficult to read it from your screen shot.

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 had to select 'UTC' because your platform doesn't provide functionality for the guessing algorithm

PHPINFO gives me this error:

So, it's clearly a date timezone problem definition somewhere. Is your day/time correct ? Seems to be a solaris system, if you type "date" in a shell window, is the answer correct ?

Putting this as the first line of your php file will fix the problem. Or you can configure your php.ini as per php's manual (see below)

CODE

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kuala_Lumpur');

You can set to your time zone.

If you refer to php's manual http://my.php.net/date_default_timezone_set
it says:

QUOTE

Note: Since PHP 5.1.0 (when the date/time functions were rewritten), every call to a date/time function will generate a E_NOTICE if the timezone isn't valid, and/or a E_STRICT message if using the system settings or the TZ environment variable.

Instead of using this function to set the default timezone in your script, you can also use the INI setting date.timezone to set the default timezone.

So by configuring your php.ini, you can also solve this problem.

date is correct since the date is drawn from my Linux host. I'm using VirtualBox and I guess it set the date/time for me already.

I think the quote below something of interest from phpinfo().

QUOTE

date/time support enabled
Timezone Database Version 2005.18
Timezone Database internal
Default timezone UTC

Directive Local Value Master Value
date.default_latitude 31.7667 31.7667
date.default_longitude 35.2333 35.2333
date.sunrise_zenith 90.583333 90.583333
date.sunset_zenith 90.583333 90.583333
date.timezone no value no value

Edit: I'm searching for my php.ini ... it's not in /usr/local ....
