Hi, all!
How do I set my default PHP Timezone (Europe/Rome) so that all CLI/FPM use it unless I change it as needed?

Have you tried setting timezone for the server (in webmin), I guess php would follow that, not 100% sure.
shows in my php
Thanks for your reply; yesā¦ It is set to Europe/Romeā¦ 
What sounds weird is that on my virtualhost I manually set PHP FPM to Europe/Rome and the web application recognize itā¦
When I run cronjobs with php on the same virtualhost/user it seems the setting is not considered as per the following php -i resultsā¦
date
date/time support => enabled
timelib version => 2022.10
"Olson" Timezone Database Version => 0.system
Timezone Database => internal
Default timezone => UTC
Directive => Local Value => Master Value
date.default_latitude => 31.7667 => 31.7667
date.default_longitude => 35.2333 => 35.2333
date.sunrise_zenith => 90.833333 => 90.833333
date.sunset_zenith => 90.833333 => 90.833333
date.timezone => UTC => UTC
To obtain the correct directive I tried setting timezone in the relevant CLI settingā¦
date
date/time support => enabled
timelib version => 2022.10
"Olson" Timezone Database Version => 0.system
Timezone Database => internal
Default timezone => Europe/Rome
Directive => Local Value => Master Value
date.default_latitude => 31.7667 => 31.7667
date.default_longitude => 35.2333 => 35.2333
date.sunrise_zenith => 90.833333 => 90.833333
date.sunset_zenith => 90.833333 => 90.833333
date.timezone => Europe/Rome => Europe/Rome
But this means I should always check all FPM versions settingsā¦?
It would be great to set a default, as you mentioned, and have it everywhere unless set with a different valueā¦
I tend to ignore that and add a line to the code just after the opening php tag & change it on the fly
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Rome');
// your code starts here
given that you could read the required timezone from an ini/settings file and change it there rather than editing the source code each time you want to āmoveā time zones. This then works with whichever mode of PHP the file is invoked by.
ā EDIT ā
but what is the output from
timedatectl | head -4 | tail -1
Also setting timezone in the relevant CLI setting did not solve my problems with cron jobs, anywayā¦
I set my cron job with php -d date.timezone=āEurope/Romeā /public_html/cron.php and this fixed my applicationās (GLPI) issues with cron based timestampsā¦
Where should it be run?
from a terminal, from webmin/virtualmin click the arrowed item & run it there
Iāve never set that and the phpinfo shows Australia. what sort of web application are you talking about.
timedatectl | head -4 | tail -1
Failed to create bus connection: No such file or directory
The application is GLPI - Its web interface woks fine with that timezone settings on its virtual hostā¦
The problem was with its cron job / that seemed keeping working as on UTCā¦
Now fixed with that workaround on cronā¦
