I've been developing a small web application and everything worked great in IDE, but the first time I sent it to the server I got this error:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'DateTime::__construct(): 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/Chicago' for 'CDT/-5.0/DST' instead' in /home/jhenslee/public_html/simpleWFA/WarframeAlerts.php:49\nStack trace:\n#0 /home/.../public_html/.../....php(49): DateTime->__construct()\n#1 {main}\n thrown in /home/.../public_html/.../....php on line 49

The problem is that I am doing a lot with the time (ex.):

$now = new DateTime();
$rssdate = new DateTime();
$age = new DateInterval("P1D");

$trdate_obj =  $rssdate->createFromFormat(DateTime::RSS, $pubdate);
$age = $now->diff($trdate_obj);
$age_minutes = ($age->h * 60) + ($age->i);
$timeleft = ($lengthnum - $age_minutes);

$msg = $age->h . " hours " . $age->i . " minutes";

Do the other functions/ways of getting time still work with everything I have written?

Thanks!

So have you set a default time zone? – Dave Chen May 05 '13 at 17:38
Isn't that automatically done in the .ini? – Programmer XYZ May 05 '13 at 17:39
I believe you are getting that error because you didn't set one. – Dave Chen May 05 '13 at 17:40
Okay, I'll give that a try, thanks! – Programmer XYZ May 05 '13 at 17:45

Does DateTime/date.timezone/date_default_timezone_set() all return the same data?
