How to set default php.ini to be used, OSX Yosemite

I set up a new environment using OSX Yosemite.

I'm using the built-in PHP.

I'd like to change some config in php.ini such as date.timezone but none of the modifications are working despite restarting the apache server (sudo apachectl restart).

phpinfo() is giving a different path than php --ini command.

phpinfo():

Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/local/php5/lib

Loaded Configuration File /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini

Via commands :

which php

/usr/bin/php

php --ini

Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc

Loaded Configuration File: /etc/php.ini

Scan for additional .ini files in: /Library/Server/Web/Config/php

Additional .ini files parsed: (none)

So I guess I have to tell somewhere where I should set the default php.ini to be used.

Any ideas, hints?

Short answer: If you're on mac and you have the file /usr/local/php5/php.d/99-liip-developer.ini then edit timezone there and it will effect php-cgi (web-browser)

Long answer: n mac system for few settings like timezone php.ini file (showing loaded in phpinfo) don't work. Because sometimes we unknowingly install php packaged by Liip. That's why apache picks up few settings from liip-developer.ini config file which is usually located at /usr/local/php5/php.d/99-liip-developer.ini

On mac sierra with php7.1, edit /usr/local/etc/php/7.1/php.ini won't work, you can edit like this:

1) cp /etc/php.ini.default php.ini
2) edit php.ini to add
date.timezone = Europe/Berlin

then restart your apache,

move the configuration file to the right spot and update the timezone.

$ sudo cp /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini

Open the config file /etc/php.ini, find the line that sets your timezone and update it correspondingly.

date.timezone = Europe/Berlin

Do not forget to remove the ; at the beginning. Restart the Apache server to have PHP load the new .ini file.

sudo apachectl restart

SAPI module specific location (PHPIniDir directive in Apache 2, -c command line option in CGI and CLI, php_ini parameter in NSAPI, PHP_INI_PATH environment variable in THTTPD)

http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php

Try changing PHPIniDir in httpd.conf.
