Summary: Date() / mktime() function were generating error ..
Status: Bogus
Type: Bug
Package: Date/time related
Operating System: FC11
PHP Version: 5.3.3

New Comment:
IT IS a bug, because PHP is NOT an operating system, it is just a
software package, and it should not require the OS user to set the
timezone settings each time in each application he/she is going to
change it. Most not-time-specialized software packages should rely on
system settings and should not require the user to change it all
manually.
For example, user John moves with his laptop from one timezone to
another each 2 days. He has 100 software packages installed in his
laptop, and he should be able to change the timezone _only_ by modifying
the system settings once, not 101 times each time he changes the
timezone.
Therefore, such warning is certainly erroneous and is an actual bug
which has to be fixed.
The correct way to do it is to implement a separate setting in ini file
or elsewhere whether time and date functions should rely on
application-specific time settings or system time settings.

This isn't a bug: the error message explains exactly what's happening
and what you need to do to fix it. Please follow it up with a support
channel if you're still unclear on the problem.

mktime() [function.mktime]: 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 'Asia/Calcutta' for
'IST/5.0/no DST' instead in /PATH/nf_statCounter.inc on line 21
