#34385 [Bgs]: phpinfo throws a strict standards warning on timezone

ID: 34385 User updated by: david at tulloh dot id dot au Reported By: david at tulloh dot id dot au Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.1.0RC1 Assigned To: derick New Comment: It seemed a bit odd to me that a function, used properly would throw an error. As for fixing the setting, you may have noticed that the reproduce code included the -n flag, the setting is correctly set in my php.ini. However the setting is 'incorrect' in the default setup; it's also not documented in the supplied -recomended or -dist files. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-06 09:56:11] sniper@php.net Where does it say phpinfo() can't throw errors? Nowhere, fix your setttings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-06 08:06:28] derick@php.net Assigning to me, but not sure if we're going to change that. In your case it is actually good that it did this, as it shows that it incorrectly guessed "America/New_York", which uses the same abbreviation (EST) as Eastern Australia. So fix your setting :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-06 05:41:35] david at tulloh dot id dot au Description: ------------ phpinfo throws a E_STRICT error. This is caused by PHP guessing at the timezone. I'm not sure that the error message belongs in the middle of the phpinfo output. Reproduce code: --------------- php -a -n <?php error_reporting(E_STRICT); phpinfo(INFO_MODULES); ?> Expected result: ---------------- phpinfo() should not throw errors, E_STRICT included. Actual result: -------------- (CLI output, similar results through apache module) ... date date/time support => enabled Strict Standards: phpinfo() [/phpmanual/function.phpinfo.html]: It is not safe to rely on the systems timezone settings, please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. We use 'America/New_York' for 'EST' instead. in /home/lod/Downloads/php-5.1.0RC1/- on line 2 Default timezone => America/New_York ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34385&edit=1
