Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45191&edit=1 ID: 45191 Comment by: bwbama85 at gmail dot com Reported by: info at organicdata dot co dot za Summary: error_log ignores date.timezone php.ini val when setting logging timestamps Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: Centos el5 PHP Version: 5.2CVS-2008-06-05 (snap) Assigned To: derick Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is still not functioning correctly in PHP 8.1.7. Literally PHP error_logs is the only location on the entire server where the logs always output in UTC no matter what settings are changed on the server itself or with date.timezone.

I am happy to take a closer look at this, however can anyone confirm if this has been resolved in more recent version? Again, I'm happy to put some work in but just want to check if anyone has resolved or confirmed this as resolved in a more recent version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-20 11:28:40] rohgeo at gmail dot com Same problem here with PHP 5.4.5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-17 09:54:40] rohgeo at gmail dot com php 5.4.4 all messages in /var/log/php_errors.log have UTC timestamps ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-23 13:55:17] bram at ebskamp dot me Same problem here with PHP 5.4.3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-30 07:32:57] rohgeo at gmail dot com php 5.4.3 all messages in /var/log/php_errors.log have UTC timestamps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
