I've updated PHP engine on my server to PHP 5.3, and I have many warnings...

First, warnings on the regex functions : regex function are deprecated, and we are invited to uses pcre functions instead.
http://docs.php.net/manual/en/intro.regex.php

Second, warnings on the dates functions : I have many messages like this
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/Berlin' for 'CEST/2.0/DST' instead

With PHP 5.2, there is no warnings.
I invite you to read the PHP migration 5.2 to 5.3 here => http://docs.php.net/migration53

Note : we have to made Piwigo & plugin compatible with PHP 5.3 and keep compatibilty with 5.2 (or 5.1 ...)

Hi grum,

Concerning the timezone settings, I also encountered this problem when upgrading from PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.3: it was due to a missing parameter on configuration file upgrade. If I install PHP 5.3 from scratch, I don't have this error.

Concerning other warnings, are they in Piwigo core or in plugins? (because many PHP 5.3 warnings were fixed on Piwigo and I don't see any of them nowadays)

Ok, I will update the PHP conf file, but may be it could be a good thing to add a functionnality allowing the admin to choose the timezone ;-) Think about french users hosted in US, or US users hosted in France... :-)

For the other warnings, I saw it on one of my plugin, but I think if it's possible to do a grep on subversion (piwigo's core and plugins) to find deprecated function can be a good thing.
Deprecated functions are listed here : http://docs.php.net/manual/en/migration … ecated.php

I did it because I've updated my message in the 20seconds after posting the message !! ^^;

Hello,

I am running Piwigo 2.2.3, PHP 5.3.6, Apache 2.2.19, on Windows XP SP3 (just for testing). I've also run into the error related to TZ:

(from configuration.php)

Warning: main(): 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 'America/New_York' for '-4.0/DST' instead in C:\Apache2\htdocs\piwigo\admin\configuration.php on line 243 Notice: Undefined index: day in C:\Apache2\htdocs\piwigo\admin\configuration.php on line 243 Warning: main(): 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 'America/New_York' for '-4.0/DST' instead in C:\Apache2\htdocs\piwigo\admin\configuration.php on line 244 Notice: Undefined index: day in C:\Apache2\htdocs\piwigo\admin\configuration.php on line 244

Piwgo is not picking up the date.timezone setting in php.ini, or is not using it everywhere it should. The TZ error popped up on numerous pages.

I resolved this error by adding:

Code:

date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');

to include/common.inc.php as line 25. Substitute your own region/city combination.
See http://us.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

Note: I installed Apache and PHP from scratch. My system already had the Americas/New York setting for JDK, but the php installer didn't pick it up.

I've tried this and still can't get the correct time zone for my gallery. Why can't you add the option for administrators? It is incredibly frustrating for non-PHP jedi masters to have to deal with such a problem.

OK, I'll make some tests to be able to set this setting as a configuration parameter in Piwigo itself.

I've found an old feature request that could match this problem [Bugtracker] ticket 932
