strtotime() breaking in new php version when converting mysql timestamp

Question

I'm converting my mysql timestamp with

$timeStampDate=date("F j, Y g:i a", strtotime($row["projectTimeStamp"]));

Unfortunately a new php version doesn't like this, and is giving me a set of errors.

Strict Standards: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings.

I've been playing with .htaccess, adding php_value date.timezone Europe/London but it's a problem.

I just need the mysql NOW() to be readable in a $variable.

I hate software updates. PHP Version 5.2.17

You have to set default timezone with date_default_timezone_set()

This is correct, I just fixed it with date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');

Sorry, I tried to accept it but I needed to wait a designated time. @Tom No need to be rude is there?
