Answered Evo 1.0.15 Need to fix Manager/includes/ for Warning: strtotime() for PHP 5.5 upgrade

Server is upgrading to PHP 5.5 from 5.3. Tested the upgrade ahead of time... by adding to the htaccess file:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php55 .php

front end is fine, but /manager delivers 3 files all with the same error:

----
Warning: strtotime(): 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 the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone.
----

manager/includes/rss.inc.php on line 49 =
$pubdate = $modx->toDateFormat(strtotime($pubdate));

manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php on line 2503 =
$strTime = strftime($dateFormat . " %H:%M:%S", $timestamp);

manager/actions/welcome.static.php on line 175 =
$html.= "<tr bgcolor='#FFFFFF'><td><b>".$activeusers['username']."</b></td><td>$webicon ".abs($activeusers['internalKey'])."</td><td>".$activeusers['ip']."</td><td>".strftime('%H:%M:%S', $activeusers['lasthit']+$server_offset_time)."</td><td>$currentaction</td></tr>";
}

I saw an earlier post about using a php.ini file.. but that doesn't seem to work. Any ideas of how to fix these three files?

You can set the timezone via .htaccess as well.
TLDR:

I think you should have hit this problem with PHP 5.3 earlier - or maybe that's using a different php.ini file?

** It looks like there's a global php.ini file that I can't edit...

The htaccess file includes:


AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php <-- I added this to keep it at 5.3

#php_flag register_globals Off
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
#php_value date.timezone "America/New_York" <-- uncommenting leads to global server error


<IfModule php5_module> <-- adding this doesn't fix it either.
php_value date.timezone "America/New_York"
</IfModule>

If you are uploading a "php.ini" file you have to upload it to both the root and manager folders.

** Okay that was my problem. php.ini file at root -- but not in the manager. Once I popped it in there with the time zone? The errors went away. THANK YOU!!!
