Change Timezone in Lumen or Laravel 5

Question

I am using Lumen framework. How can I change Timezone to Europe/Paris CEST?

I added a varaible in my .env file:

APP_TIMEZONE=Europe/Pari

Please try this - Create a directory 'config' in your lumen setup, and then create app.php file inside this 'config' dir. it will look like this -

 'America/Los_Angeles'];

Then you can access its value anywhere like this -

$value = config('app.timezone');

If it doesn't work, you can add this lines in routes.php

date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');

This worked for me!
