Today.php - Build Your Own Database Driven Web Site Using PHP & MySQL

Hi,

I got to try my 1st php script today.php

This is what i wrote in the txt file:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN”
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd”>
<html xmlns=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” xml:lang=“en” lang=“en”>
<head>
<title>Today’s Date</title>
<meta http-equiv=“content-type”
content=“text/html; charset=utf-8”/>
</head>
<body>
<p>Today’s date (according to this web server) is
<?php
echo date(‘l, F dS Y.’);
?>
</p>
</body>
</html>

And thats the result on my browser under http://localhost/today.php :

Today’s date (according to this web server) is
Warning: 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/Helsinki’ for ‘2.0/no DST’ instead in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\ oday.php on line 12

Any ideas why i got this Warning message?

Thanks in advance.
