php - 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 variable in my .env file:

APP_TIMEZONE=Europe/Paris

But this doesn't work. What is the right way to update the timezone?

Answer 1

You can set your app time zone by configuring app.php file in config folder .

To change time zone , modify the value of timezone in app.php file.

This is written in this section

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Application Timezone
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here you may specify the default timezone for your application, which
| will be used by the PHP date and date-time functions. We have gone
| ahead and set this to a sensible default for you out of the box.

For me i am using Asia/Dhaka as my application time zone.

Here is the appropriate syntax :

'timezone' => 'Asia/Dhaka'
