Bug #54559 [NEW]: php ignoring date.timezone setting

From: Operating system: RHEL 6 PHP version: 5.3.6 Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:php ignoring date.timezone setting Description: ------------ In my php.ini file I have date.timezone = "America/New_York" However I keep getting the error Warning: phpinfo() [function.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 'America/New_York' for 'EDT/-4.0/DST' instead in /var/www/html/gallery3/test.php on line 2 and this isn't just for phpinfo but everything I've tried dealing with dates and times. The only workaround I've found is to put date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York'); at the start of all my scripts. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54559&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54559&r=mysqlcfg
