Timezone is not changing after updating php.ini

Question

I have hosted my PHP website on godaddy, it is working fine. But the problem is it is showing timezone to American/Phoneix which i want to change in Asia/Karachi.

So i found that i have to put this (date.timezone = "Asia/Karachi") line in PHP.ini file. So i have paste it into php.ini which is located at root of my site. but still timezone to American/Phoneix. What i am doing wrong?

I have also tried to write this (date.timezone = "Asia/Karachi") line in htaccess file but it also didn't work.

Remember i am unable to reload my server at godaddy.

how to change ini file in godaddy: https://uk.godaddy.com/help/change-php-settings-26379 and make it take effect: https://uk.godaddy.com/help/phpiniuserini-changes-not-taking-effect-5647 — Tamar, Jun 16 '17 at 07:17
change the timezone within the php code: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php — Tamar, Jun 16 '17 at 08:18

Try to set the time zone in your .htaccess:

php_value date.timezone Asia/Karachi

If this doesn't work try to use ini_set:

<?php
ini_set('date.timezone', 'Asia/Karachi');
// or
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Karachi');

i'm using php 5.6. In php.ini should you try remove "" likes that:

date.timezone = Asia/Karachi

or config in your php file :

date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Karachi");
