The Date Errors are a php server issue.
The host should be able to update the php.ini file for you to set the default timezone to prevent that error from occurring. It happens if the default time zone is not set in the php.ini.
Alternatively, Try adding the following to your page...
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
?>
The list of valid timezones is here...
