php config_error ai_generated true

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 the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /var/www/app/src/Utils/DateHelper.php on line 10

Root Cause

The PHP timezone is not configured in php.ini (date.timezone) or via date_default_timezone_set(), causing PHP to fall back to a system guess which may be unreliable.

中文

PHP 时区未在 php.ini（date.timezone）中配置，也未通过 date_default_timezone_set() 设置，导致 PHP 回退到系统猜测，这可能不可靠。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Set the timezone in php.ini: `date.timezone = 'America/New_York'` (replace with your timezone). Restart the web server or PHP-FPM. 
    Set the timezone in php.ini: `date.timezone = 'America/New_York'` (replace with your timezone). Restart the web server or PHP-FPM.
  2. 90% success Add `date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');` at the top of your PHP script or in a bootstrap file (e.g., index.php or config.php). 
    Add `date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');` at the top of your PHP script or in a bootstrap file (e.g., index.php or config.php).

中文步骤

  1. 在 php.ini 中设置时区：`date.timezone = 'Asia/Shanghai'`（替换为您的时区）。重启 Web 服务器或 PHP-FPM。
  2. 在 PHP 脚本顶部或引导文件（如 index.php 或 config.php）中添加 `date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Shanghai');`。
  3. 对于 CLI 脚本，在运行脚本之前通过环境变量设置时区：`export TZ='Asia/Shanghai'`。

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    The .user.ini file is ignored in module mode; the setting must be in the main php.ini.

  2. 80% fail

    PHP validates the timezone string; a typo results in fallback behavior.

  3. 65% fail

    The setting may not propagate to all PHP contexts (e.g., CLI or subrequests).
