date.timezone issue in php.ini

Question

I trying to installing php on IIS based on these steps .

I fallowed the instructions step by step and I did every thing correct, after all when i trying to see my phpinfo() i got this error:

PHP Warning: phpinfo(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are required 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 the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone.

So I came back to my php.ini and set date.timezone like this and restart the IIS:

;date.timezone = "America/New_York"

but nothing happened and same as the old.

What should I do?
