Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: Irrelevant
New Comment:
E_STRICT is thrown when you set error_reporting to throw it. And
according to the discussion on internals (of which I am a part of),
they want people to develop that way.
Mark it will fix later or whatever, but, this will need to be addressed
as E_STRICT gets more and more steam.

E_STRICT is only thrown in latest snaps, not in any official release
(f.e. not in 5.1.4). You can't expect the documentation to be _that_ up
to date.
There is a huge thread on internals going on right now on whether
E_STRICT should be triggered for this sort of thing (i.e. when E_ALL is
set) in the next release.
This is not a doc bug. Not yet at least ;)

We need a script to check all of php-src (and PECL) for what functions
may emits errors, and document accordingly. E_STRICT and E_WARNING
especially. In fact, it should check return types too. And compare
prototypes. Sounds like a large task so we can simply add E_STRICT info
to strftime() for now :)

Description:
------------
Enabling E_STRICT and using strtotime() yields this error:
Strict Standards: strftime() [function.strftime]: It is not safe to
rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone
setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set()
function. We selected 'America/Chicago' for 'CDT/-5.0/DST' instead in
/www/dev.phorum/phorum5-dev/include/format_functions.php on line 157
However, the docs at http://us3.php.net/function.strftime/ make no
mention of this. I believe if you are going to throw warnings for
things in E_STRICT, it should at least be documented.
Reproduce code:
---------------
use strtotime() without setting a timezone in php.ini
Expected result:
----------------
Documentation would have headed this warning.
Actual result:
--------------
No docs about this being a possible problem.
