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/London' for '1.0/DST' instead in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\includes\schema.php on line 237

we have tried reinstalled joomla and it still comes up with this error even after changing the time settings, so i think xammp has a bug rather than wordpress and joomla.
if anyone has any ideas on what could be the problem it would be most appreciated.
