Why is the time on the server and when executing cron tasks different?

Question

PHP

Good afternoon. The time zone Europe/Moscow is set on the server and everything works correctly.
But in cron tasks, the time differs from Moscow by -3 hours. The commands are called as follows:
/opt/php/7.1/bin/php /var/www/...
I went to the server via SSH, wrote the date command and got the Moscow time. Tell me how to fix it. Thank you.

Answer 1

php.ini look - there
date.timezone = Europe/Moscow

Answer 2

For starters, just try to restart Cron, if the TZ settings are done, but Cron has not been restarted, then it works with the old zone.
Make sure /etc/localtime is looking at the correct TZ
