Timezone php errors after installation

Hi, there,

I just installed amember on my localhost XAMPP stack and I'm getting the following errors (this is just four of about a dozen or so).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

P.S. If it matters, I'm also wanting to use the Drupal module, but I haven't gotten very far with either yet.

In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

Thanks so much!

I don't know why XAMPP would leave that out by default, but that worked.

Thanks again!
