Re: [PHP] PHP5.3.5: error message for date()

2011-03-05 Thread Roger Riordan
PS. What is "date.sunrise_zenith"? I am surprised that PHP contains a function 
to return
the time of sunrise for a given location, but I thought that latitude, 
longitude, date and
time zone would be all you had to know.

Thanks for this.  I have put date_default_timezone_set() at the start of my 
program, which
clears up all my bugs, but leaves the bug in PHP.ini. This doesn't worry me.

And now I know where my son found the "10 types of people" T-shirt. 
Unfortunately I seldom
wear T-shirts, and my friends wouldn't get the joke anyway.

With my best wishes,

It's not complaining about a missing parameter, it's complaining about the lack 
of a specified timezone.

This warning was introduced in PHP5.1, and you either need to set the 
date.timezone INI setting, either in your php.ini or by using ini_set(), or by 
passing a valid timezone to date_default_timezone_set() before calling any 
other date-related functions.

[PHP] PHP5.3.5: error message for date()

2011-03-04 Thread clancy_1
After a long battle to get my system back on air after a hard disk crash, I got 
PHP 5.3.5
running under Apache 2.2.3. I now get a diagnostic every time I call date(), 
complaining
about a missing parameter. The manual states that the second parameter is 
optional, and
even phpinfo doesn't know about this new requirement, as it contains the same 
diagnostic:

"Warning: phpinfo(): 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 'Australia/Melbourne' for
'11.0/DST' instead in D:\Websites\index.php on line 1 Warning: phpinfo(): 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 'Australia/Melbourne' for '11.0/DST' instead in
D:\Websites\index.php on line 1 ".

Is this a bug, or a new requirement we will have to get used to?
