Timezone error in file manager

I think this may be a bug, but I'm not really sure. No matter what I set the timezone to in the general options, I get the following error:

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 'EDT/-4.0/DST' instead in /<my_server>/public_html/media2.cokertire.com/zp-core/zp-extensions/tiny_mce/plugins/ajaxfilemanager/inc/class.session.php on line 85

I have changed it to different timezones, but this error persists...

    The file manager is an adapted 3rd tool which use rather plain (www.phpletter.com) and those we generally try not to modify to avoid issues with upgrades. I have never got this error btw. Maybe my collegue has any idea about that later.

    Yes, I can not find anyone experiencing the same issue...it's very odd, and this is a fresh install.

    The line is ajaxfilemanager is merely getting the current date in 24 hour format via the PHP date() function. So presumably the error is caused because there never was a setting of the default timezone somewhere.

    Zenphoto does the following in functons-basic.php right at startup to be sure the timezone is set.
    `
    if (function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')) {
    $level = error_reporting(0);
    $_zp_server_timezone = date_default_timezone_get();
    date_default_timezone_set($_zp_server_timezone);
    @ini_set('date.timezone', $_zp_server_timezone);
    error_reporting($level);
    }
    `
    So somewhere in the startup of the ajaxfilemanager this needs be done.

    Thank you, got it fixed:

    Add this code just under "<?php" in the file "ajaxfilemanager.php"

    /* Timezone Fix Start */
    if (function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')) {
    $level = error_reporting(0);
    $_zp_server_timezone = date_default_timezone_get();
    date_default_timezone_set($_zp_server_timezone);
    @ini_set('date.timezone', $_zp_server_timezone);
    error_reporting($level);
    }
    /* Timezone Fix End */

    Thanks for the confirmation. I think we will put this in the config file for the formal fix, though.
