Probably you should configure default time zone in php.ini.

Thankyou, cool - but I can't find php.ini. Could you give me
a little more help. I should probably write something like
Europe/Copenhagen, but what is the directive exactly?

Which os you are using? If its linux try "locate php.ini"

date.timezone:
http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.configuration.php

Supported timezones:

(1) Build and loaded the database, but can not do a locate - says the database
is not there - in strict contradiction with a repitition of the build command
which claims that it (the database is there) ... HOP!

Anyway, where does php.ini normally exist - on a UNIX system, or a Mac or
whatever it is.

I wouldn't say it's new (it's been around for several years). You've
carefully ignored the error message but it contains a complete
explanation of what you must do, something like this:

Warning: date() [http://es.php.net/function.date]: 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. We selected
'Europe/Paris' for '2.0/DST' instead

Always read error messages: they are there to help, not to annoy, and
they normally contain useful info.

P.S. You can find the path for your "php.ini" file with this script:

<?php

phpinfo();

You've upgraded to a version that needs it. I do this in any CLI PHp
script I run, if I'm going to use any time/date function:

$timezone = getHosttimezone (); // Ask system for time zone
date_default_timezone_set ($timezone);

Since most of my scripts are run by apache, I also do this in the
httpd.conf file:

php_value date.timezone 'timezone-string'

where you replace timezone-string with the string for your time-zone.
Under OS X 10.7.3, this file is at:

/private/etc/apache/httpd.conf


php.ini.default can be found at:

/private/etc/php.ini.default

You probably want to copy that to php.ini in the same directory and then
edit as others have suggested.

Fix your system. And where it exists is dependent on your version of
Linux. There is no one place on all systems.

Alternatively, look up phpinfo().

Googling suggests that it's likely to be in /private/etc/php.ini *but*
you may have instead /private/etc/php.ini.default - in which case you
need to copy it:

cd /private /etc
cp php.ini.default php.ini

Disclaimer - this is what I found with google, I have no knowledge of the
accuracy and veracity of this solution!

It is located where phpinfo() says it is. RTFM.

locate(1) will not yield useful results unless updatedb(1) had been run on
that system first and the directories in question are included in the
indexing and the user running updatedb(1) has had permission to read the
pertinent directories and files. There is no requirement that – assuming
the findutils are even installed – updatedb(1) be run as a root cron job on
a Linux-based system. If updatedb(1) had been run, locate(1) may very well
yield several paths for php.ini as each server version and PHP variant (in
particular (PHP Apache module and PHP CLI) likely will have its own
configuration.

Bottom line: In 9 of 10 cases the output of `locate php.ini' is completely
useless.

When in doubt, call phpinfo() in the *same* PHP program first. It tells you
where php.ini for that program is located and what *other* configuration
files are considered that may very well contain the setting in question
(which is especially common on Linux-based systems because of convenient
package management for PHP extensions), so as to avoid modifying the wrong
file or duplicating settings (with adverse effect on the duplicate or the
duplicated setting).
