Description:
------------
There's a Centos6.3 system. Apache 2.2.15 + mod_fcgid + PHP 5.3.3

There's a problem with date.timezone value. It's mentioned in the global /etc/php.ini like this:

date.timezone = "Europe/Moscow"

And doesn't mentioned in user's local php.ini. As a result, I'm getting lot's of warnings like:

Warning: 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 'Europe/Helsinki' for 'EEST/3.0/DST' instead in ...

Including the date.timezone parameter into the user's php.ini solves the problem, but I don't think, that it's the best solution.

Why PHP doesn't read the timezone value from the global config file?

Thanks!

Actually it does. Please double check the setting in the global php.ini 
configuration file. The FCGI PHP binary on your system might be 
configured to fetch a different global php.ini than the one you named: 
/etc/php.ini

The error is likely on your end and configuration.

Please double-check which php.ini is used with your fcgi configuration.

Nope. Everything's fine, as I can see here:

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
