New Comment:
I updated the timezone database (you can use it by installing the
timezonedb extension from PECL).
However the following statement is *correct* behavior:
Eg: Etc/GMT+1 returns time 1 hour before Etc/GMT
Similarly, Etc/GMT-1 returns time 1 hour after Etc/GMT
This is how the timezone database does it - however, please try to
avoid using timezones like this as they do not take care of DST and the
like.

Derick, looks like the timezone DB needs an update.

Description:
------------
PHP returns incorrect time for the following timezones:
America/Port-au-Prince
Etc/GMT+*
Etc/GMT-*
where * is a digit 1-9.
Eg: Etc/GMT+1 returns time 1 hour before Etc/GMT
Similarly, Etc/GMT-1 returns time 1 hour after Etc/GMT
Reproduce code:
---------------
function print_current_time($timezone) {
date_default_timezone_set($timezone);
$s = strftime("%I:%M:%S %p %d %B %Y");
printf("%20s: %s\n", $timezone, $s);
}
print_current_time('America/Port-au-Prince');
print_current_time('Etc/GMT');
print_current_time('Etc/GMT+1');
print_current_time('Etc/GMT-1');
Expected result:
----------------
America/Port-au-Prince: 02:36:53 AM 02 July 2007
Etc/GMT: 07:36:53 AM 02 July 2007
Etc/GMT+1: 08:36:53 AM 02 July 2007
Etc/GMT-1: 06:36:53 AM 02 July 2007
Actual result:
--------------
America/Port-au-Prince: 03:36:53 AM 02 July 2007
Etc/GMT: 07:36:53 AM 02 July 2007
Etc/GMT+1: 06:36:53 AM 02 July 2007
Etc/GMT-1: 08:36:53 AM 02 July 2007
