Changing the __construct is not the answer. It will cause you more issues that way.. please check the following first:

#1. Check your Php.ini file to reflect your time zone
date.timezone America/New_York
then restart apache.


#2. You can add this to the date.php file:
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');

The issue appears to be with Php 5.3 and above. just keep this in mind.

There is something wrong with the code itself.

Go to C:\xampp\htdocs\libraries\joomla\utilities\date.php

Line 52 creates a function called __construct. Notice how the underscore is too long. Highlight part of it and you'll see that it's actually two underscores. This is a mistake. Highlight one of the underscores and delete it. You should end up with _construct. Notice how the underscore is shorter?

Now save and reload.

Happy coding!!!

OMGZ! THANK YOU!! I WAS CRUMBLING FOR A WEEK OVER THIS! YOU RULE!!

Brilliant. I was getting timezone errors all over my Joomla page. This fixed it.

if your host allows php directives in .htaccess, you can add this command to your .htaccess in Joomla root.
Code:
php_value date.timezone yourServerTimeZone

Thanks!

Off of the research I have done, I have discovered that the reason this issue may occur is because of PHP 5.3

Downgrading or installing PHP 5.2 may resolve this error from occurring. I have not tested this myself but plan to.

I downgraded to 5.2 and all my errors dissapeared.

Cheers

thanks @dhuelsmann worked for me as well!

I know this is an older thread, but Dhuelsmann's recommendation of adding the correct code to the php.ini worked out perfectly for me!

[tawhid111]

if none of those solution worked add this to your index.php
last resort solution!

Code: Select all

error_reporting(0);
@ini_set(‘display_errors’, 0);

Hello. The solution for me was that it was a compatibility issue (PHP 5.3 not being compatible with Joomla) See this post...

Bingo! Thank you, Auntyfleen.

My problem was caused by my shared hosting server not running the correct version of PHP. I added this line, AddType x-mapp-php5 .php, in my .htaccess to the root of my site and it immediately solved the problem.

I'm also having the same issue. Would someone like to fix this for me?

Dear All

My website is hosted in third party hosting provider.
I have added code date_default_timezone_set ("America/New_York"); in my date.php file

But still I am getting the error in line 56.

I don't know will it get effected immediately or should we ask the provider to do something at their end

please suggest.

Thanks in advance,

Tajudeen

THANK YOU for posting this helpful material.

I was getting errors suddenly, this morning, matching the description in this post, on the front end and back end of my live site. (Not sure what version of PHP my host is using--probably the latest--hosted by Siteground.)

The steps suggested above worked to apparently completely clear the errors--in both cases the suggested code was added to the end of the files referred to. Step #1 fixed the front end errors which were appearing probably at the top of every site page. Step #2 fixed the back end errors which were showing in the Articles manager.
