Parse Error after PHP 5.3 Update

Hi,

I get the following Parse Error after update my PHP to 5.3 and MODx to 1.0.2:
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 ’Europe/Berlin’ for ’CET/1.0/no DST’ instead

The error occur in connection with directresize, phx and one installation of ditto.

Thanks
István

Your PHP config needs to be updated to specify the default timezone:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php
http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

Thanks,

I understand the solution, but I’m not so familiar with server configuration. Should I add it to the "php.ini" or to "httpd.conf" and how is the syntax. Thanks for helping an designer who wants to be a little bit a developer.

See http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.configuration.php for more details, and the link contained on that page that says Where a configuration setting may be set. Unfortunately this differs entirely based on your server platform, specific configuration, and even version of PHP. I typically use .htaccess php_value directive when available, though in PHP 5.3+ I am now using the new .user.ini files to override the global php.ini.
