I've confirmed that the server is set to PDT. The value of date.timezone in php.ini is "America/Los_Angeles", which should be (currently) -8 hours from UTC, but it looks like the PDT offset is only set to -4. Does that even make sense?Actually, PDT is UTC minus 7, not 8. But that's not the point. I know people are pointing at a configuration issue, and it may well be. But the fact that PHP seems to have the correct idea for what UTC is suggests that perhaps either PHP or the (presumably) C routines that it uses may be at least contributing to this. This is not the first time I've seen strangeness with default timezones, and I guess there's a reason why using them generates a warning. Best to deliberately set your timezone. Now if it still does it when you actually set it to America/Los_Angeles then we've got a bigger problem. Geoff.
