ID: 54559 User updated by: jistanidiot at gmail dot com Reported by: jistanidiot at gmail dot com Summary: php ignoring date.timezone setting Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: RHEL 6 PHP Version: 5.3.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Ah you're right it is looking for php.ini in /usr/local/etc which is not the right place. I've recompiled and added the option --with-config-file-path=/etc and now everything is good. Thanks! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-18 17:44:18] dtajchre...@php.net Are you modifying the right configuration file for the SAPI you're using? phpinfo() and php --ini will show you which configuration files are loaded... is that the file you have date.timezone = "America/New_York" in? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-18 17:05:40] jistanidiot at gmail dot com Description: ------------ In my php.ini file I have date.timezone = "America/New_York" However I keep getting the error Warning: phpinfo() [function.phpinfo]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting 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 'America/New_York' for 'EDT/-4.0/DST' instead in /var/www/html/gallery3/test.php on line 2 and this isn't just for phpinfo but everything I've tried dealing with dates and times. The only workaround I've found is to put date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York'); at the start of all my scripts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54559&edit=1
