Little problem with my php code, please see below

<?php
$thisyear = date('Y');
echo "<span>&copy; 2004-$thisyear All rights reserved. </span>";
?>

The error I am getting in the error_log is of the following nature

PHP Warning: 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 ‘America/Chicago’ for
‘CST/-6.0/no DST’

I have no idea how to specify either of this in my simple php script.

Any help is appreciated!

    I believe the warning is as explicit as it gets. Try and use this:

    <?php
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
$thisyear = date('Y');
echo "<span>&copy; 2004-$thisyear All rights reserved. </span>";
?>

    You can see a list of all supported time zones following this link: http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
