default timezone in PHP

Question

What is default timezone in php? I checked it in the php.ini which shows the following with the timezone is left blank:

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone         


        

Answer 1

When not specified date.timezone defaults to the system environment variable TZ. You can use this code to check your default value date_default_timezone_get().
