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

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