Changing PHP timezone not working

[polera]

I just discovered that my PHP CLI timezone on my localhost MAMP is set to Europe/Berlin...

When I run `die(phpinfo());` in my .php script through CLI, it shows this in the output:

date
Default timezone => Europe/Berlin
date.timezone => Europe/Berlin => Europe/Berlin

When I run `phpinfo()` through the normal web server, it shows correctly:

date
Default timezone America/Denver
Directive Local Value Master Value
date.timezone America/Denver America/Denver

When I look up how to change it for CLI, I find this page:
https://documentation.mamp.info/en/MAMP ... .ini-file/

When I click into MAMP > File > Open Template > PHP (php.ini) > PHP [the version I'm using], it opens `php[version].ini`, and under `[Date]` shows `date.timezone = MAMP_timezone_MAMP`. When I comment that line out and make a new one as `date.timezone = America/Denver` then restart MAMP, nothing changes in CLI or Web... apparently the instructions are wrong or incomplete.

CLI phpinfo says `Loaded Configuration File => /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php[version]/conf/php.ini`.

Web phpinfo says `Loaded Configuration File /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf/php.ini`.

Why are these different...? The Web version isn't even using the php.ini based on the version of PHP I'm using, it appears to be using a generic version... is this file overwritten by a version-specific one when I change PHP versions? I use the Module way to switch.

I'm confused on this all. Am I not supposed to modify `MAMP_timezone_MAMP`? Am I supposed to modify `/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php[version]/conf/php.ini` directly?!

I looked for a setting in the MAMP UI but I saw nothing about setting time zone for either the server, the PHP version, the CLI, or the app.

I'm trying to fix by just editing the file directly, but I've read that we shouldn't be doing that... but I'm not seeing what I should be doing.

So far it's working, though I don't know yet if it'll work between restarts or cause an issue anywhere.

I think if MAMP's going to have a shortcut like `MAMP_timezone_MAMP` in the template file it recommends to modify, that this should relate to a setting in the GUI. I don't know, maybe I'm just being a silly person

[polera]

I got it to work by modifying `/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php[version]/conf/php.ini` directly... which I thought we weren't supposed to do.

So, I don't see a better solution.

Surprising nobody answered.

Thanks for sharing. Might be worth bringing up on their bug base: https://bugs.mamp.info/my_view_page.php

I'm anxiously awaiting MAMP Pro 7.0 + new builds which hopefully address a lot of the oddities in previous versions I've reported
