Cannot Set Date.Timezone in PHP.Ini File

Cannot Set date.timezone In php.ini file

finally solved my problem,
this is my Loaded Configuration File:

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini 

modified the date.timezone here but it's not working.

So, I check the "Scan this dir for additional .ini files " values in phpinfo() which point to:

/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d 

then I search date.timezone from all files in that folder but found none.

this is my Additional .ini file parsed value in phpinfo():

/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/05-opcache.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/10-pdo.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-json.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-mysql.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-mysqli.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-pdo_mysql.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/30-mcrypt.ini 

I modified /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini, and appended this line:

date.timezone = Asia/Jakarta

very weird but this solved my problem !!!

Setting the Timezone for PHP in the php.ini file

I tried all the other possible solutions posted, but none of them helped. This is what helped me save my timezone settings:

1) Go to your phpinfo() page and search for Loaded Configuration File and open the php.ini file mentioned under that section.

2) Change the default timezone settings by adding your new timezone by modifying this line: date.timezone=Asia/Kolkata.

3) Save the php.ini file and stop the Apache server.

4) Restart the Apache server. The timezone settings should now be modified.

php.ini 'date.timezone' doesn't have any effect

In the comments, Minesh Patel told me to check if there is something overwriting my option, so I searched through my php.ini for Europe/Berlin and it turns out there was another date.timezone-entry that overwrote it.

Change to php.ini does not have effect

You can also set time zone from your script in case you don't have permission to restart the server:

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('America/Phoenix');
//rest of your code. 
?>

And here the list of supported time zones by PHP.
