php yii timezone

Pay attention: is not Yii or php stuff. You have to define date.timezone in your php.ini file. Now I'll give you some steps to fix this issue.

first of all create your own phpinfo.php file and put insite the php code

phpinfo();
run this script and look for path of your php.ini file.
open php.ini, look for date.timezone string and set the value to (for example)

date.timezone = 'Europe/Rome'

Now you wont never get again that error. Why fix this stuff in php.ini and not in php code? Easy: if you fix php.ini files you do this stuff once for all your websites. If you fix this stuff in php code, you'll need to fix again and again each time you start a new project.

I think better to fix in php code. If you are working in a team, each member should change their php.ini. So you need to inform everyone. If you are fixing it in php, no need to inform anyone. Moreover, if you are hosting the web app in shared hosting, you may not have permission to change the timezone settings.

We are in 2015. Today there are teams that works in a single vagrant machine. All member of the team works inside the same machine.

I mean that configuration can be done one time for all. And all developer can upgrade the vagrant machine. If you fix php code, you need to fix all php code.

But In 2015 we are using version control system. So no need to fix in all php code :-P I don't know the vagrant machine.

Ok, every time you "buy" a machine, you have to install some software. Each time. But, ... you can also work with vagrant, create your "box" and then share your box "under version control system XD" with all your team member. You vagrant machine can replicate production machine. And every time production server need a change, you just need to update the vagrant box. 1 team member? 1000 Team members? ... just vagrant machine. Yo!
