problema con la funcion date() en el servidor y la aplicacion dokeos

[juanjoselive]

hola compañeros buenas tardes.
quisera saber si alguien sabe como arreglar el error siguiente

arning: date() [function.date]: 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/Chicago' for '-6.0/no DST' instead in C:\xampp\htdocs\dokeos\main\inc\lib\main_api.lib.p hp on line 1772

You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function.

http://php.net/date.timezone
http://php.net/date_default_timezone_set

Utiliza alguna de las dos para decirle a PHP en qué zona horaria estás (o qué zona horaria debe tomar a la hora de trabajar con fechas y horas).
