Apache time stamp incorrect

Question

I am using WAMP server running PHP. At a particular step I am trying to capture system time and add it to the database with the following query

$strSQLInsert         


        

Answer 1

In addition to editing the /wamp/bin/php/phpX.X.X/php.ini you would need to make the same changes on Apache side too. Which is on /wamp/bin/apache/ApacheX.X.X/bin/php.ini

Answer 2

I'm using wampserver 3.0 and having the same issue even after changing date.timezone for both files:

• \bin\php\php5.6.15\phpForApache.ini
• \bin\php\php5.6.15\php.ini

After the changes the server was stopped/started, also tried using the restart button. Result are the following:

• Date is ok (as before) but time is still off by exactly 50 minutes.
• Apache access log shows correct time offset at +8 hours
• Php error log shows correct time zone

Answer 3

Try to change the timezone in the php.ini configuration file, and then restart the apache service. You should have php.ini somewhere inside your WAMP installation folder.

EDIT: You might have the php.ini file inside the folder:

/wamp/bin/php/phpX.X.X

where phpX.X.X is your php version.

Look for the "date.timezone" line and change it to something like this:

date.timezone = "America/Los_Angeles"

You can find the supported timezones here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

More technical information is available here: http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.configuration.php

The .htaccess file has a local range, normally to the folder and sub-folders where the file is created. Changing the php.ini file makes the changes global to your PHP installation.
