So I was coding my CMS for the updater well I am finished with the cod but I get the following error

Warning: 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 'UTC' for 'UTC/0.0/no DST' instead in /var/www/html/1016/e62ba3298cdecce2b983d4b8c9eecbce/cms upch/update/update.php on line 105

Well here is my code on line 105 in updater.php:

PHP

$message = date('<Y-m-d H:i:s>').$message."\n";

And here is the code for the rest of line 105 in updater.php:

PHP

public function log($message) {
    if ($this->_log) {
        $this->_lastError = $message;

        $log = fopen($this->logFile, 'a');

        if ($log) {
            $message = date('<Y-m-d H:i:s>').$message."\n";
            fputs($log, $message);
            fclose($log);
        }
        else {
            die('Could not write log file!');
        }
    }
}

SO my question is what am I doing wrong?!?!?

You're not doing anything wrong in your code; it's complaining about the timezone settings in php.ini.

In a standard PHP installation, the timezone is set around line 923 of php.ini. In a *nix install, you can find out where your file is located by passing a flag to the command line like so:

~ : php --ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /usr/local/etc/php/5.5
Loaded Configuration File:         /usr/local/etc/php/5.5/php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: /usr/local/etc/php/5.5/conf.d
Additional .ini files parsed:      /usr/local/etc/php/5.5/conf.d/ext-apcu.ini,
/usr/local/etc/php/5.5/conf.d/ext-intl.ini,
/usr/local/etc/php/5.5/conf.d/ext-mcrypt.ini,
/usr/local/etc/php/5.5/conf.d/ext-memcache.ini,
/usr/local/etc/php/5.5/conf.d/ext-xdebug.ini

Look for the date.timezone setting, which is probably commented out or not set. Change it to the value you want to record all your PHP times in. For instance, I'm in Oklahoma, US, so my value is set like this:

date.timezone = America/Chicago

A complete list of timezones is at http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php[^]
Be sure to remove the ; comment indicator, save the file, and restart the Apache server.
