"apachectl restart" does not pick up the new TZ environment variable.
Did you try apachectl stop / apachectl start? I get the same results as
you with TZ="America/Los Angeles", but "America/Los_Angeles" or
"US/Pacific" work. As far as I know there's no php.ini setting that
fiddles with timezones.

Yes, tzselect suggests that TZ be set as 'America/Los_Angeles'.
I did this, using export TZ='America/Los_Angeles' and restarted apache.
It made no difference to the php script output.
In other words, if php believes that the server timezone is
'America/Los_Angeles' it gives the incorrect time. But if it believes
that timezone is 'US/Pacific' it gives the correct time. However,
setting TZ to 'US/Pacific' also makes no difference to the script
output. So I'm wondering where PHP is picking up the timezone
information from and how I can get it to believe that the timezone is
'US/Pacific' from startup. Can I set that in php.ini?
(Also, there are two timezone commands on debian, tzselect and
tzconfig. tzconfig lets one choose either 'US/Pacific' or
'America/Los_Angeles' for the timezone, but neither makes a difference
to this script).

Using tzselect on Debian leads to the assumption that your TZ variable
should probably be "America/Los_Angeles" (with underscore). Can you
test that, please?

<?
print("server timezone is: " . getenv('TZ') . "<br>\n");
print("server time is: " . date("F j, Y, g:i a") . "<br>\n");
print("changing server time zone to US/Pacific....<br>\n");
putenv("TZ=US/Pacific");
print("new server time is: " . date("F j, Y, g:i a") . "<br>\n");
print("new server timezone for this script is: " . getenv('TZ'));
?>
The above script gives the following output:
server timezone is: America/Los Angeles
server time is: February 9, 2003, 6:45 am
changing server time zone to US/Pacific....
new server time is: February 8, 2003, 10:45 pm
new server timezone for this script is: US/Pacific
the correct date and time in Los Angeles at the time of running the
script is: February 8, 2003, 10:45 pm
The date command on the system gives the correct time and date.
/etc/timezone contains US/Pacific
setting environment variable TZ=US/Pacific before restarting apache has
no effect on the above script.
PHP configure line:
'./configure' '--with-mysql' '--with-apxs'
'--with-config-file-path=/etc/php4/apache' '--enable-track-vars'
'--enable-trans-sid' '--with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds' '--with-ldap'
'--with-imap' '--with-curl=/usr' '--with-pgsql=/usr/include/postgresql'
'--with-gd' '--with-xml' '--enable-cli'
Apache/1.3.26
Apache modules are: mod_php4, mod_ssl, mod_perl, mod_dav, mod_setenvif,
mod_unique_id, mod_expires, mod_auth, mod_access, mod_rewrite,
mod_alias, mod_userdir, mod_cgi, mod_dir, mod_autoindex, mod_status,
mod_negotiation, mod_mime, mod_log_config, mod_macro, mod_so,
http_core
This could be a problem with the underlying debian (2.2.19 kernel)
system, but I thought I should report it.
Thank you.
