title: MAMP / PHP.INI: "date.timezone" setting in phpinfo() shows "no value" even though the value is set in php.ini
body: <p>Greetings to StackOverflow gurus!</p>
  
  <p>Here's the issue I'm struggling with. </p>
  
  <p>I run phpinfo() in MAMP, and the resulting table shows "no value" in both columns of the date.timezone row. </p>
  
  <p>Additionally, the page displays the following:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Warning:</strong> phpinfo() [function.phpinfo]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are <em>required</em> to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EST/-5.0/no DST' instead in <strong>/Applications/MAMP/bin/mamp/phpinfo.php</strong>  </p>
  
  <p>In thr php.ini file, however, the setting is as follows:</p>
  
  <p>date.timezone = America/New_York</p>
  
  <p>I foresee the recommendation to check that the path to php.ini is correct - I've already done that, and the path is indeed correct: /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.3/php.ini - that IS the file that has the value set. </p>
  
  <p>How can I remedy the issue? What am I missing? </p>
  
  <p>Would be grateful for help from a knowledgeable person. </p>
