php.ini'date.timezone'没有任何效果

Question

In my php.ini I've set:

date.timezone = "Etc/UTC"

And the server's time is UTC+0 too, but when I try this script to get the timezone:

<?php print(date_default_timezone_get()); ?>

it returns

Europe/Berlin

which is UTC+2 and not UTC+0 and I don't see how it gets there.

Just to clearify:

• I have saved the the correct file at the correct path and restarted my server
• I do not want to modify my scripts, because I already used date() way to often
• I want the time to be UTC+0 for PHP just by changing the configuration
• I want it to be UTC+0 at all times, ignoring Summer-/Wintertime

Answer 1

In the comments, Minesh Patel told me to check if there is something overwriting my option, so I searched through my php.ini for Europe/Berlin and it turns out there was another date.timezone-entry that overwrote it.
