An error occurred!
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 'Asia/Dubai' for 'GST/4.0/no DST' instead (2)

here is a image plz help me http://lulzimg.com/i24/b906ed.jpg

follow the advice given.
Set date_default_timezone

I really don't think it could be more obvious than that...

Not many errors that tell you how to fix the error. Maybe that's why I've never heard of this before.

Yes, there is a file that you need to modify. It's the php.ini file. (You can see the path of it in your phpinfo() details).
Open the file with a texteditor (Nano, vi/vim) and search (in Nano: ctrl+w) for date_default_timezone and set it to the right timezone.

Example of a value for the setting:
America/Los_Angeles
