Warning: date() [function.date]: [duplicate]

Question

Does anyone know where I can read the documentation for the solution to this warning. I can search for the warning and I just get a phonebook worth of pages that have the same problem.

Warning: date() [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.

 $config['today'] = date('Y-m-d');

Answer 1

it is because you do not have default time zone set in php.ini. Add this line at the beginning of your PHP.

date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles'); 

p.s. of course, change to your time zone.
