We've also had a report of this coming from an Amazon cloud server
running a lightweight Linux distro that uses "musl" for its C standard
library instead of glibc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musl

Apparently glibc includes several formatting options (such as %l) that
are not part of the POSIX standard:

Title:
  Timezone identifier support for PHP on Windows

Status in Mahara:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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
