[Bug 1451328] [NEW] Timezone identifier support for PHP on Windows

 

Public bug reported:

Last login column for users search is blank (and does not sort in the
correct order) also the warning saying 'PHP on your website host does
not return a useful value for the timezone identifier (%z) .....' on the
admin page is not a fix for the problem and unfortunately some of us are
not able to change from hosting on a Windows server.

I am wondering if Mahara is using strftime resulting in the time zone
identifier returning 'New Zealand Standard Time' in Windows rather than
Linux' +1200 is part of the problem.

I have searched the forums but not found a fix.

Server: Windows 2012 R2
Mahara version: 15.04.0 and 1.9.4
IIS: 8.5 (both servers) also had same problem on a WAMP environment
PHP version: 5.5.3 and 5.5.8
MySQL version: 5.5.40 on both servers
