<function>date_default_timezone_set</function> sets the default timezone
used by all date/time functions.
</para>
<note>
<para>
Since PHP 5.1.0 (when the date/time functions were rewritten), every call
to a date/time function will generate a <constant>E_NOTICE</constant> if
the timezone isn't valid, and/or a <constant>E_STRICT</constant> message
if using the system settings or the <varname>TZ</varname> environment
variable.
</para>
</note>
<para>
Instead of using this function to set the default timezone in your script,
you can also use the INI setting <link
linkend="ini.date.timezone">date.timezone</link> to set the default
timezone.
