How to configure PHP in Azure Websites to change the system default time zone

Azure Website provides us with a highly scalable website deployment platform. Since Website is a PaaS (Platform as a Service) layer service, when users migrate their original PHP websites to Azure Websites, there are some configuration methods that are different from traditional methods. For example, in Azure Websites, we cannot access the server running the PHP engine, nor can we access the php.ini file.

In the running environment provided by Azure websites, the default time zone is UTC time. For customers in China, we often hope to directly obtain the time zone of GMT+8 through the date object. At this time, we need to create a .user.ini file in the root directory of the PHP application and specify in it:

<code><span>date.timezone</span>=<span>Asia/Chongqing</span></code>

Note: After adding the .user.ini file, you need to restart Azure Websites.

In this way, if our PHP source code is as follows:

<code><span><<span>html</span>></span><span><<span>head</span>></span><span><<span>title</span>></span>PHP Demo page<span></<span>title</span>></span><span></<span>head</span>></span><span><<span>body</span>></span><span><span><?php</span><span>echo</span> date(<span>"r"</span>);
    <span>?></span></span><span></<span>body</span>></span><span></<span>html</span>></span></code>

The above code will get the following page output:

Generally speaking, as long as the configuration information in the php.ini file is not a System-level configuration item, we can modify it in the scope of the application through the .user.ini file. Here (http://php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php) is the configuration item list and effect level of php.ini.

The above introduces how to configure PHP in Azure Websites to change the system default time zone, including the relevant content. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in PHP tutorials.
