Question

I’m trying to use PHP in the terminal under MAMP but I got an error related to the system’s timezone settings. How can I fix this error?

$/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/php
echo.php

PHP Strict Standards: PHP Startup: It
is not safe to rely on the system’s
timezone settings. Please use the
date.timezone setting, the TZ
environment variable 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
‘Asia/Manila’ for ‘PHT/8.0/no DST’
instead in Unknown on line 0

Answer 1

You need to set date.timezone in the php.ini file^Docs

// London, England, Europe
date.timezone = "Europe/London"
date.default_latitude = 51.500181
date.default_longitude = -0.12619

or

 date.timezone = America/Los_Angeles
