PHP Configuration: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings
<p>Here a weird one. 
I just upgrade to php 5.3.0 and since the upgrade I'm getting the following warning:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Warning: getdate() [function.getdate]:
  It is not safe to rely on the system's
  timezone settings. You are <em>required</em>
  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'</p>
</blockquote>

<p>After looking in various forums, everybody says that to solve the problem, all you have to do is edit the date zone in the php.ini and restart Apache.</p>

<p>It did not work for me. </p>

<p>I tried  </p>

<pre><code>date.timezone="America/New_York"

date.timezone=America/New_York

date.timezone="US/Central"
</code></pre>

<p>Restarted apache after I made the change.</p>

<p>Since I still have the older version of php install, I even made sure that I'm editing the php.ini that the current version of php uses at the time to load </p>

<p><code>/usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini</code></p>

<p>Still getting the warning. </p>

<p>Any suggestions? </p>

<p>Thanks for taking the time.</p>
