title: Does XAMPP set the php.ini file to "date.timezone=Europe/Berline" during installation?
body: <p>Does XAMPP set the php.ini file to "<code>date.timezone=Europe/Berline</code>" during installation?</p>
  
  <p>The default <code>date.timezone</code> settings are stored in the <code>../xampp/php/php.ini</code> file.
  These settings can be found around in or around line 1045. After reviewing some php error logs and the php.ini file, I found that my settings were as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>date.timezone=Europe/Berline
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am located in the United States, Eastern Time, so my settings should be:</p>
  
  <pre><code>date.timezone=America/New_York
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am not sure why my <code>date.timezone</code> would be set to <code>Europe/Berline</code> unless this is the default setting for the php.ini file during an XAMPP installation. </p>
