Simple.  You upgraded to php-5.3.x.  This is a well known gotcha --
php-5.3.x needs to have the timezone set explicitly in
/usr/local/etc/php.ini.  If you haven't got a php.ini, then just copy
one of the sample files, php.ini-production for preference, and edit it
like so (although your timezone is almost certainly not Europe/London,
so substitute accordingly):

% diff -u php.ini-production php.ini
- --- php.ini-production	2010-05-31 10:03:32.000000000 +0100
+++ php.ini	2010-04-27 15:53:52.000000000 +0100
