Nish, Yes the Ubuntu php build is configure with tzdata as follow :
debian/rules: --with-system-tzdata and tzdata is a Depends: for a quit some derived binary package of php. (The above is observation from bionic php7.1 source pkg) # debian/php-common.README.Debian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Timezone data from system timezone database ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian PHP has been patched to use the system wide timezone database from the tzdata package, making sure any updates there are automatically used by PHP as well. Note that this requires that the PHP process has access to /etc/localtime and /usr/share/zoneinfo. For any regular installation this should be the case, but in specific secured environments when reading the timezone database is impossible PHP will give a "Timezone database is corrupt - this should *never* happen!" error. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Eric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to tzdata in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734967 Title: tzdata info for WGT/WGST broken Status in php5 package in Ubuntu: New Status in php7.0 package in Ubuntu: New Status in php7.1 package in Ubuntu: New Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in php7.0 package in Debian: New Bug description: Using "America/Godthab" timezone, "WGT/WGST" is no longer displayed from date command but instead just "-03". Problem is evident in PHP applications too, which now think we're in Sao Paolo. This appears to have changed with latest tzdata update or perhaps in combination with change from DST. Same problem on 16.04, 17.10 and Debian 9.
