If you are using PHP 5.3 and have created a new Yii! Framework 1.1 application, you will get the following error:
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 'Your/Timezone' for 'Timezone Info' instead
To get around this, just open up index.php of your application and in the first line, add the following:
date_default_timezone_set('Timezone/String');
You should replace the ‘Timezone/String’ with your timezone information. Since my timezone is Asia/Kathmandu, I used:
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kathmandu');
Hope this helps.
