Strict Date Error message - no timezone specified?

Hello,

I am getting this error message (and many others that are essentially the same) from my server when strict reporting is turned on (a blank screen when it is not):

Strict Standards: getdate() [function.getdate]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable 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 'UTC' for 'GMT/0.0/no DST' instead in /home2/readcons/public_html/webassist/form_validations/wavt_scripts_php.php on line 198

Looks like the timezone is not being set correctly for my hosts strict server settings - is there a resolution for this at all?
