I'm not sure what you're trying to do in that script, but i suppose it's a bug
in
it. You convert from local to GMT and then again. I cannot repro neither with
your
script nor with a much smaller sample
putenv('TZ=Africa/Cairo');
echo date('l g:i A');
Do that two lines work for you?

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.
Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.
Please post also all the datetime related ini options you have.
