You can also do this

edit .htaccess file in root folder

just add line at the end of content "php_value date.timezone {yourtimezone}"

like this

"php_value date.timezone Pacific/Auckland"

save upload and that's it...

It worked for me.

Solve the issue

Hi,

I got the same correcting time zone problem and managed to fix it.
I'm using Mac OS X El capitan, Nginx, PHP-FPM, MySQL.
To correct PHP timezone, instead of php.ini, I set up this
/usr/local/etc/php/5.6/pool.d/www.conf
with
php_admin_value[date.timezone] = Europe/London
then restart PHP-FPM and Nginx.
