PHP Warning: putenv() has been disabled for security reasons

Hello,

I was getting this warming in my log:

PHP Warning:  putenv() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/MYFOLDER/public_html/includes/extra_configures/set_time_zone.php on line 28

I am pretty sure it's server-related.

I uncommented lines 27 to 30 in set_time_zone.php as indicated below:

/*  if ($TZ != '') {
    putenv('TZ=' . $TZ);
    @date_default_timezone_set($TZ);
  }
 */

No more warning :smile: ... but if someone sees any reason not to do this please advise.

You should instead only comment out the putenv line, not the entire "if" statement.
