“date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings…”

Question

I got this error when I requested to update the PHP version from 5.2.17 to PHP 5.3.21 on the server.

Answer 1

If you don't have access to the file php.ini, create or edit a .htaccess file in the root of your domain or sub and add this (generated by cpanel):

AddType application/x-httpd-ea-php56 .php .php5 .phtml



php_value date.timezone "America/New_York"



php_value date.timezone "America/New_York"
