I've xampp installed on my Local PC. But I've a Problem in my Timezone. PHP date shows my Date & Time 02/11/2018 05:26:18. but my PC Time is 02/11/2018 09:26:18. My Timezone is Asia/Karachi. I've Changed My Timezone in php.ini and My Timezone in php.ini Look like this 

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = "Asia/Karachi"

I've also changed the right php.ini file according to phpinfo. I've restarted my Server many times but still getting the same timezone . My PHP version is 7.1.10

  • Does `date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Karachi")` works in your script ? – Syscall Feb 11 '18 at 05:37
  • Yes it works @Syscall – Shaida Muhammad Feb 11 '18 at 05:47
  • Ok. Maybe you've not changed the right php.ini. Did you read https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32224547/setting-the-timezone-for-php-in-the-php-ini-file ? – Syscall Feb 11 '18 at 05:49
  • Yes i read it . and i've this path in phpinfo "C:\xampp\php\php.ini" and i changed the same file @Syscall – Shaida Muhammad Feb 11 '18 at 05:53
  • but it's still showing me the Europe/Berlin Timezone in phpinfo – Shaida Muhammad Feb 11 '18 at 05:54
  • Oh. there was a second date.timezone in that file and now that works fine . . . [Syslog] define_syslog_variables=Off [Session] define_syslog_variables=Off [Date] date.timezone=Asia/Karachi [MySQL] mysql.allow_local_infile=On mysql.allow_persistent=On mysql.cache_size=2000 mysql.max_persistent=-1 mysql.max_link=-1 – Shaida Muhammad Feb 11 '18 at 05:59
  • So, you could add an awser and mark it to accepted for futur users. Thanks. – Syscall Feb 11 '18 at 06:03

  • There is a second `date.timezone` in php.ini
    In my case, it is in line 1972 under `[ffi]` block     – José Mauricci Z. Sep 16 '20 at 00:12
  • This is the answer, or at least the other half. There are TWO locations to change: One under [date] and the other under [ffi]. Don't forget to restart the Apache server after saving the changes. Also, there can be two php.ini files. In my case Apache pointed to the incorrect one, as I needed to change the one under htdocs/dashboard. Cheers – JayJay123 Oct 17 '20 at 01:36

As @Shaida Muhammad suggested in comments to the question, there seems to be a second date.timezone in php.ini for xampp. You can safely remove/comment the second date.timezone.

[Date]
date.timezone=Asia/Kolkata

I have had the same issue, instead of going everywhere else i just clicked on Apache config button in xampp control panel and clicked on php.ini.

There is a second timezone line in that file go and search for it you will find your solution there.

[Syslog]
define_syslog_variables=Off
[Session]
define_syslog_variables=Off
[Date]
date.timezone=Asia/Karachi
[MySQL]
