Timezone error occuring in PHP 5.3

[hikaru-shindo]

Since 5.3 PHP claims warnings if no script timezone is set because it is not safe to rely on system settings.

You should add something like:

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Berlin');

to the configuratiion

Got a woraround, looking like this:
date_default_timezone_set(date_default_timezone_get());

Worked fine in early 5.3 Versions... (also still works for me). But more and more Users are experiencing this problem...

Still not sure if I should do more Workarround, as the only proper solution is to set timezone in php.ini...
(Also I still do not see why it is not safe to rely on the system settings... better than relying on nothing and causing PHP-Developers to vomit...)

I'll think about what i'm doing and am going back on this later...
