Time Zone Issue

[RTWright]

"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 'America/New_York' for 'EST/-5.0/no DST' instead in /home/wwgdesigns/www/oos/administrator/components/com_phocagallery/views/phocagallerycp/tmpl/default.php on line 62"

This is not the first time I've seen this, it would appear that Joomla 1.6 and some extensions have issues with how it deals with the Time Zone settings. After having a few of the extensions I'm using getting updated, it went away on them. I'm currently using Phoca 3.0.0 RC3. So thought I'd post this here for you to take a look at. It doesn't go away no matter what Time Zone I select.

Thanks

Hi, the problem is, Phoca Gallery uses the Joomla! methods, so it use the Joomla! date methods.

But in this case, only this function is used:

date("Y") ... to get current year.

Not sure how to change the date function
