Bug #47466 [Com]: Phd seems to ignores .ini timezone

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47466&edit=1 ID: 47466 Comment by: demian dot katz at villanova dot edu Reported by: kvz@php.net Summary: Phd seems to ignores .ini timezone Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: Doc Build problem Operating System: Ubuntu Intrepid PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: First of all, apologies for being confused about Phd vs. PHP -- I assumed since this is a bug tracker on PHP.net that it was simply a typo in the heading! Secondly, my bug turns out to be a simple typo in the .ini file -- despite the fact that I checked and triple checked, I missed the fact that I had a space in place of an underscore! Still a mystery why the CLI version complained more persistently about this than the Apache version, but I'm not too concerned. Once again, sorry for putting this in the wrong place AND complaining about a bug that was really just my own bad eyes -- but I figured I might as well bring closure to the issue in the same place I brought it up, just in case somebody else finds themselves following the same path that I did.

Also, I think this bug is fixed in SVN. :) @kvz Is this still an issue? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-05-19 17:57:04] demian dot katz at villanova dot edu I am seeing the same behavior with PHP 5.3.6 built from source on a RedHat box. I have set an explicit date.timezone value in php.ini, and I do not see the warning when accessing web pages through Apache. However, when using the CLI tool, I always see the warning. Running phpinfo() from the command line confirms that PHP is using the same .ini file whether accessed via CLI or web and that the date.timezone value IS being read but is apparently being ignored. Is there some environment variable that overrides the date.timezone value? If so, this seems like undesirable behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-27 09:41:02] pjardine at team dot telstra dot com Same issue. Win server 2003, IIS 6, PHP 5.3.2 Was having problems - PHP info page reported default timezone set ("Australia/Melbourne") but the error was still being logged and the php_info page reported "no value" in the configured timezone. Opened the php.ini file in a text editor and saved it as a differnt name. I then opened a command prompt window and copied the newly save file file to overwrite the original file. Problem resolved (no more errors, php_info correctly reporting configured timezone). Not sure why. I did notice something odd when I initially copied php.ini-production using windows explorer (I used ^C, ^V to create the copy, then renamed the "Copy of ..." to "php.ini". I ended up with 2 files of the same name, one of which had a (2) after it. I renamed the files again using windows explorer (using the date stamp to decide which was which)). Maybe some odd windows behaviour caused this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-24 21:10:36] cjm at siegeweb dot co dot uk Something odd just happened... I opened php.ini in C:/PHP, deleted all but the line 'date.timezone = Europe/London' saved, restarted IIS. It didn't work. still got the warning. Then I went to that start menu > All Programs > Php. Expanded it and saw php.ini. Clicked to edit it and got a completely different version of php.ini (with timezone commented out). Weird (as i thought i'd just changed that). I verified that the location of the file was C:/PHP/php.ini - it was. I browsed to C:/PHP/php.ini - opened that only to see my new version with only the line 'date.timezone = Europe/London'!? 2 files seemingly at the same location? Saving the version from the start menu didn't work. So I copied the content of the full .ini file over to the single line version, changed the timezone, saved it restarted IIS and timezone warnings have dissapeared. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-24 20:49:52] cjm at siegeweb dot co dot uk Same problem for me (php 5.3.0 - IIS 7). Still get warning after setting the timezone in php.ini. Have verified timezone, tried many others, with quotes/without quotes. Nothing works, php ignores that line completely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
