Only after the upgrade to php 7.3.2 did I start getting this issue. Possibly other date functions are affected. But my unit tests stop immediately on failure. Also I haven't changed anything to my environment in months/years. It very much seems to me like a new 7.3.2 issue, and I couldn't see anything in the 7.3.2 log about backwards incompatible changes. php --version PHP 7.3.2-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) (built: Feb 7 2019 18:01:56) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.3.2, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.3.2-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies with Xdebug v2.7.0rc1, Copyright (c) 2002-2019, by Derick Rethans Test script: --------------- php -a Interactive mode enabled php > var_dump(ini_get('date.timezone')); php shell code:1: string(16) "America/New_York" php > echo strftime('%F %T %z'); 2019-02-07 22:24:27 +0000 php > echo strftime('%Z'); GMT Expected result: ---------------- php > echo strftime('%F<br />%T %Z'); 2019-02-07<br />17:04:54 EST Actual result: -------------- Always seems to be GMT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77582&edit=1
