Description: ------------ Upon installation the following errors result after 'make install': 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 'UTC' for 'GMT/0.0/no DST' instead in phar:///local/src/php-5.3.0beta1/pear/install-pear-nozlib.phar/PEAR/Registry.php on line 938 ... many more ...

I believe a recent change to PHP 5 making this an E_WARNING error instead of an E_STRICT is related, a change that took place on January 27, 2009. Test script: --------------- wget php5.3-beta1.tar.gz tar xfvz php5.3-beta1.tar.gz ./configure make make install Expected result: ---------------- No E_WARNING errors. Also, I should not be expected to already have a php.ini (with this set) already on the system. Actual result: -------------- See above.

Duplicate of PHP Bug 47323 that has already been fixed - The fix will not go live until PEAR 1.8 goes stable (so phars can be updated), at least a alpha will have to be done but this should all be done before 5.3 goes stable
