Symfony2 and date_default_timezone_get() - It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings

Question

I have a Symfony2 project. I updated my php to 5.5.7 today and since then, I am getting the

Warning: date_default_timezone_get(): It is not safe to rely on          


        

Answer 1

Following up on sas's answer, PHP 5.4, Symfony 2.8, I had to use

ini_set('date.timezone','');

instead of date_default_timezone_set. I also added a call to ini_set to the top of a custom web/config.php to get that check to succeed.
