According to Wikipedia [1], 14.04 LTS is six months old (2014-04-17) 
already; the latest PHP 5.5 release was in September.  Be sure to update 
PHP: <http://php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.5.17>

“-print” is the default action for find(1), you can safely omit it (RTFM).

You can speed up the search next time by

a) looking only in and below /etc, where most if not all configuration files
   are found on Unices:
  
     sudo find /etc/ …

b) looking at the output of phpinfo() instead.

The latter will also tell you more exactly which configuration file you 
*actually* have to edit.

I would expect

  date.timezone = America/Detroit

but I suppose whitespace does not matter.  Be sure that

  sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

or whatever you use on Ubuntu instead, allows you to select 
“America/Detroit”.

1. Post what happened when you used date() *afterwards*.

2. Have you executed

     sudo service apache2 reload

   or

     sudo service apache2 restart

   afterwards?  If not, PHP server module configuration changes do not take
   effect, as is evident by the corresponding phpinfo() output.
