Change to php.ini does not have effect

I added this line to my php.ini file: date.timez开发者_高级运维one = "Europe/Rome".

But phoinfo() still show me this: date.timezone America/Phoenix America/Phoenix.

Where I'm wrong?

Did you restart your web server? php.ini is only evaluated when the server starts up.

---

You have to restart Apache (or whatever server you use).

---

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.

Is this a discrepancy between command-line execution of PHP versus the regular viewing from a browser? CLI and web instances can read from different .ini files in some cases.

You'll want to find the 'loaded configuration file' using phpinfo()

From command line in Windows:

php.exe -i "phpinfo()" | find ".ini"

For Linux I believe:

php -i "phpinfo()" | grep ".ini"

GoDaddy just did this to me too. The new PHP5 post vars limit broke some of my forms. So I needed to change the max_input_vars setting. I updated the php5.ini file and then had to wait (a few minutes in my case) for the new setting to take effect.

You need to change the date.timezone = Europe/Rome in phpForApache.ini like you did to php.ini.
