PHP ERROR WARNING MESSAGE

Question

How can I remove messages examples below from a website? The messages similar to the below appear on every page.

"A PHP ERROR WAS ENCOUNTERED SEVERITY: WARNING MESSAGE: DATE() [FUNCTION.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 'UTC' FOR 'UTC/0.0/NO DST' INSTEAD FILENAME: COMMON/CONTENT-FOOTER.PHP LINE NUMBER: 81"

did you try searching first (or maybe even _reading_ the error message)? Also, it's hard to fix your code without seeing it (if that's what you're asking from us) — John Dvorak, Oct 01 '13 at 03:35

Read carefully all that text. Answer is already in it. You need to set your date.timezone in php.ini or in runtime using date_default_timezone_set
