Laravel changing timezone not reflecting the correct time

Question

I am changing the timezone into Asia/Singapore at config/app.php, but when I try to do a date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); the result is still in UTC.

Is there anything in Laravel that overrides that timezone that I set at config/app.php ?

Answer 1

Just do this:

'timezone' => 'Asia/Singapore'

in config/app.php file and run this 3 command:

php artisan cache:clear

php artisan view:clear and

php artisan config:cache

Hope this helps you!!
