Description of the problem

I'm trying to set the date.timezone in my php.ini file (located in my /etc folder). I've done that and when I open it it clearly shows date.timezone = "Europe/Paris", however when I check symfony system requirements it gives me an error (see screen shot) saying it's not set, and when I check my php information it says "no value" for date.timezone.

Question

What is causing the date.timezone not to be updated?

What I've tried and screen shots

My first guess was that I maybe I'm modifying the wrong file? but in the php -i I get:

/etc

configuration file (php.ini)

enter image description here

/etc/php.ini :

php.ini

php < project name >/bin/symfony_requirements :

Getting an error when I check for symfony requirements.

symfony2 error

php -i :

Getting date.timezone => no value => no value when I check php information. why?

php -i

<?= phpinfo(); ?>

As you can see in the screenshot below, no there .ini files were found on the system.

phpinfo()

    php -i from the command line will tell you the location of the php.ini files used from the command line.... if you want to find the php.ini file used by the web sapi, then run a script containing <?php phpinfo(); from your browser Commented Jan 18, 2016 at 10:33

You have probably two configuration files for CLI and for server.

So if you need to change timezones in both of them. To find location of php.ini file for your CLI use command:

php -i | grep php\.ini

for web location of php.ini I'd suggest using <?= phpinfo() ?>

You can also use (for example in Kernel file):

ini_set('date.timezone', 'Europe/Paris');

or 

date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Paris");

Moreover, check if you have php.ini instead of php.ini.default.

or

Make sure /etc/php.ini has the correct rights (ex: sudo chmod 777 /etc/php.ini ) , otherwise no value can be accessed.

Please check following path if you are use linux OS 

vi /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

and change date.timezone then restart apache.. I hope your problem will be solve. Please let me know if you face issue

Or you can put code in your app_dev.php and app.php file which are located at web directory 

ini_set('date.timezone', 'Europe/Paris'); date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Paris");

How you know he is using Apache? Btw the webserver usually does not use the cli config.
Yes, You are right but try to change cli php configuration and check.. it's working I think
@AshokChitroda this path does not exist in mac.
enter command to get php.ini path php --ini you will get path then open it and change in .ini file
/etc/php.ini -> date.timezone = "Europe/Paris" and I have restarted my apache2 server. Still same error. If there is another php.ini file somewhere I am unable to find it.
