DirectAdmin TimezoneDB Auto-Updater

An automated Bash script to compile, install, configure, and verify the PECL timezonedb extension across all installed PHP versions on a DirectAdmin server.

🚀 Features

• Auto-Detection: Automatically scans /usr/local/php* to detect all installed PHP versions.
• Smart Installation: Attempts pecl upgrade timezonedb first, falling back to pecl install -f if required.
• Permission Management: Sets explicit 0755 permissions on timezonedb.so within the extension directory to prevent loading issues.
• Idempotent Configuration: Safely adds extension=timezonedb.so to 10-directadmin.ini without creating duplicate entries.
• Service Management: Gracefully restarts matching php-fpm services (e.g., php-fpm74, php-fpm83).
• Post-Install Verification: Tests each PHP binary and outputs the current date, active timezone, and TimezoneDB version.

🔍 How It Works

For every detected directory matching /usr/local/php*, the script performs the following steps:

1. Build & Upgrade: Executes PECL upgrade/install.
2. Set Permissions: Retrieves the PHP extension directory path dynamically via php-config --extension-dir and applies chmod 0755 on timezonedb.so.
3. Configure INI: Ensures extension=timezonedb.so is present in /usr/local/phpXX/lib/php.conf.d/10-directadmin.ini.
4. Restart FPM: Restarts php-fpmXX via systemctl.
5. Verify: Executes inline PHP CLI code:

echo 'Time: ' . date('Y-m-d H:i:s T') . PHP_EOL . 
     'Timezone: ' . date_default_timezone_get() . PHP_EOL . 
     'TimezoneDB: ' . timezone_version_get() . PHP_EOL;

⏰ Cronjob Automation (Optional)

To keep your server's PHP timezone database updated automatically, you can add a monthly cron job:

# Run on the 1st day of every month at 3:00 AM
0 3 1 * * /usr/local/bin/update_timezonedb.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
