<?php echo realpath('./') . PHP_EOL; ?>

If after a Mac OS update MariaDB or MySQL stop working and you get this error on login:\

mysql: Can't read dir of '/usr/local/etc/my.cnf.d' (Errcode: 2 "No such file or directory")
Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted

It's because my.conf.d folder doesn't exist. This will fix it:
mkdir /usr/local/etc/my.cnf.d

Setting Time Zone of MariaDB to UTC

1. If you are logged in then exit mariadb and stop it via: brew services stop mariadb
2. To populate time zone tables: To load the time zone tables from the command line, pass the zoneinfo directory path name to mysql_tzinfo_to_sql and send the output into the mysql program. If your root user has no password drop -p from below command:

   mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root -p mysql
   

3. Open my.cnf (/usr/local/etc) and add following lines to it:

   [mysqld]
   default_time_zone='UTC'

		setTimeout(callback, 0);
	}
