I've confirmed that the server is set to PDT. The value of date.timezone in

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.
