New Comment:
In an openvz VM, with php-fpm 5.3.10 (debian squeeze OS), with a sytem date
configured on UTC+1 (on physical host, but `date` in VM also show UTC+1), in
php.ini I've a
date.timezone = "Europe/Paris"
but php error_log date is displayed as UTC
[09-Feb-2012 23:15:08 UTC] PHP Notice: ...
while all others logs are in the system timezone, e.g nginx
[10/Feb/2012:00:16:46 +0100] ...
and syslog as well is UTC+1 (but doesn't show it on each log line).
Hope it helps...

This bug may still be a problem for someone, here are the details :
# php -v
PHP 5.3.8 (cli) (built: Dec 1 2011 12:23:50)
The problem is with the OS this time= CentOS 5+OpenVZ with IUS repo. The host
machine (with the OpenVZ kernel) has no problems
# uname -a
Linux vz-node2 2.6.18-274.el5.028stab093.2xen #1 SMP Tue Aug 23 16:50:42 MSD
2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# echo '' > /tmp/error.log && php -dlog_errors=On -derror_log=/tmp/error.log -r
'error_reporting(-1); SOMEBADCONSTANT;' && cat /tmp/error.log && date
[30-Jan-2012 14:38:56] PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant SOMEBADCONSTANT -
assumed 'SOMEBADCONSTANT' in Command line code on line 1

The same code snippet, however, when run on a VM gives
# uname -a
Linux container1 2.6.18-274.el5.028stab093.2xen #1 SMP Tue Aug 23 16:50:42 MSD
2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# echo '' > /tmp/error.log && php -dlog_errors=On -derror_log=/tmp/error.log -r
'error_reporting(-1); SOMEBADCONSTANT;' && cat /tmp/error.log && date
[30-Jan-2012 09:10:05 UTC] PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant
SOMEBADCONSTANT - assumed 'SOMEBADCONSTANT' in Command line code on line 1

The internal TZ settings are respected though:
# php -i | grep timezone
Default timezone => Asia/Calcutta
date.timezone => Asia/Calcutta => Asia/Calcutta
# php -r 'echo date_default_timezone_get(), PHP_EOL; $d = new DateTime(); echo
$d->format(DATE_RFC822), PHP_EOL;' && date
Asia/Calcutta

I am not sure if this is the bug with PHP or with virtualized environment. I
just wanted to comment/report my observation. I was worried for a moment that
my CLI scripts would fail to respect the TZ settings, but that is not the case.
Thanks

It should be switched from strftime() to php_format_date(). This is not an
issue with the Date/Time functionality though, but with the syslog one.

Derick, any comments?

Actually error_log="somefile.log" does not use any syslog stuff to write the
entries in it. This is the line from main.c:490 which gets executed if
error_log != syslog:
strftime(error_time_str, sizeof(error_time_str), "%d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S",
php_localtime_r(&error_time, &tmbuf));
There are 2 problems here: [a] it's using locale sensitive %b modifier [b] It
doesn't care about date.timezone.
Solutions:
[a] IMO it should use this pattern instead: "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" (f.e. lighttpd
uses this for it's error_log entries :)
[b] I don't know how to safely achieve the above mentioned issues with
date.timezone vs. system timezone. Might be better leave this as is..
