You need to pass the build argument in docker compose

version '2'

services:
    php:
        build: 
          dockerfile: php7-fpm
          args:
            TIMEZONE: ${TIMEZONE}
        volumes:
            - ${APP_PATH}:/var/www/app
            - ./logs:/var/www/logs

The environment are passed to the running container and not to the buildfile. For the you need to pass args in the build section
