Linux: phpinfo() system’s timezone error date.timezone

The “date.timezone” error in the phpinfo() function is related to the timezone configuration of your PHP installation. This error message occurs when the timezone is not set in the PHP configuration file (php.ini) or in the script itself.

To resolve this error, you need to set the timezone in the PHP configuration file (php.ini) by adding the following line:

date.timezone = timezone

Replace “timezone” with the appropriate timezone value, such as “America/Los_Angeles” or “Europe/London”. You can find a list of supported timezones in the PHP documentation:

https://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

Alternatively, you can set the timezone in your PHP script by adding the following line of code at the top of your script:

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('timezone');
?>

Again, replace “timezone” with the appropriate value.

It’s important to set the correct timezone, as it affects the behavior of functions that rely on the system time, such as the date() function. If the timezone is not set correctly, your PHP scripts may produce incorrect or unexpected results.
