DateTime::__construct() Error in 2.3.3

Sorry for not providing solution. The fix is easy. Set a default timezone, in my case “Europe/Copenhagen” in php.ini

Hope it works for you

Thanks @heyrobot. I’ve already got that set so I must have another issue.

Posting in case this helps anyone.

I’m on OSX Sierra. Running “php -i | grep php.ini” showed the path of my php.ini file to be different than the path that is shown with phpinfo().

I had date.timezone set in the first .ini file. Setting it in the path that is shown with phpinfo() fixed the issue.

found this as a good reference

@randyjensen , I’m having the exact same issue. I’m a bit of a newbie with this, how would I go about doing your fix? The php.ini has a time zone in there.

Hey @japantics,

@heyrobot is correct. It’s definitely missing the timezone somewhere. My best advice is to create a file with phpinfo() in it (instructions: https://mediatemple.net/community/products/dv/204643880/how-can-i-create-a-phpinfo.php-page)

Then search for where that file says the php.ini file is located. In my case, grepping the location showed me a different path than phpinfo. Updating it in that file solved the issue. Make sure to restart apache after you change it.

@randyjensen,

Thanks for the quick reply! That did it, I just made the Php.ini file recursive using the following guide:

Works now, that’s great! Thanks!
