Any developers should modify timezone of a Laravel application depends on where their apps start business in.
In a Laravel app, there is a setting called timezone in config/app.php file. To change timezone , we need to modify its value.
The default timezone is ‘UTC’. We can change it to something like ‘Asia/Singapore’.
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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.
|
*/
'timezone' => 'Asia/Singapore',
You can find the list of timezone names here.
Another way to modify timezone is to use env file.
In config/app.php file
'timezone' => env('APP_TIMEZONE', 'UTC'),
in .env file
APP_TIMEZONE='Asia/Singapore'
