When date.timezone in php.ini is commented out, it gives me:
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: main(): 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/Los_Angeles' for '-8.0/no
DST' instead
Filename: controllers/helloworld.php
Line Number: 2
When I have
date.timezone = "America/Los_Angeles"
It gives me this:
Server error The website encountered

configured incorrectly. Here are some

I am using php5.3, code igniter 2.0.0, and Apache2.2. Anyone has this problem too?
Update 1:
I tried loading a test.php without code igniter, where the first 3 lines of test.php is
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
echo date("l j \of F Y h:i:s A");
And it works fine, different timezones also works fine too.
So I suspect the problem is from code igniter...
Anyone using code igniter here?
If you Googled "CodeIgniter PHP 5.3" you would have found this article pretty quickly :)

To fix this, you only need to edit the main index.php for your CodeIgniter application:
if( ! ini_get('date.timezone') )
{
date_default_timezone_set('GMT');
}
This modification is something you will probably need to make for any CodeIgniter application running on PHP 5.3 and can easily be modified to your local timezone. There is a full list of supported timezones in the PHP manual here.
Yes, if you cannot directly edit the php.ini file, placing...
ini_set('date.timezone', 'America/New_York');
...as the first line in CI's index.php works fine.
Reference: PHP's Available Timezones
write in your index.php codeigniter...
/*
|---------------------------------------------------------------
| TimeZone
|---------------------------------------------------------------
|
| default Time Zone
|
*/
if ( function_exists( 'date_default_timezone_set' ) )
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Jakarta');
Running well in my codeigniter
this is the simple way to do it
$timezone = "Asia/Calcutta";
if(function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')) date_default_timezone_set($timezone);
//echo date('d-m-Y H:i:s');
$localtime=date('H:i:s');
$sql="INSERT INTO hits (ip,edate,curtime,page_name) VALUES ('$ip', CURDATE(),'$localtime','$filename') ";
date.timezone is intended to go in your php.ini or .htaccess file.
you could do an ini_set('date.timezone', 'America/Los_Angeles');
in the first line of your script and get the desired results.
