Symfony 2 php.ini date.timezone

Question

I have a problem with the setup of Symfony 2 localy on xampp. The installation was no problem but when I execute the check.php it says:

Your system is not ready to run Symfony2 projects 
 * date.timezone setting must be set
   > Set the "date.timezone" setting in php.ini* (like Europe/Paris).

But the date.timezone in the php.ini is already set correctly.

Answer 1

you can add this to your AppKernel.php

public function init()
{
    // get rid of Warning: date_default_timezone_get(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone
    date_default_timezone_set( 'Europe/Paris' );
    parent::init();
}
