I'm probably going to put this into vote tomorrow. The RFC got some update from neutrality aspect and covers some feedback from the initial discussion thread. The link is: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/date.timezone_warning_removal <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/date.timezone_warning_removal>

Are you sure that "the ini file is created by the package maintainer and it includes the “date.timezone” setting" is true? Last time I checked it wasn't true across the board, so it's sounds more like wishful thinking at the moment. But I could be wrong, indeed. The current behaviour is also not described properly. The warning is displayed the first time some date/time functionality is employed. And while I'd agree that generally speaking date.timezone is not the most important setting, in that very moment it most likely is. Your particular problem could be easily fixed by using a common --with-prefix=/opt/php-build and putting the timezone in /opt/php-build/lib/php.ini, so I don't understand the urgency to change the behaviour for everyone... Anyway, let the voting begin ;) Cheers -- Matteo Beccati Development & Consulting - http://www.beccati.com/
