I hope I have a strange, but straight forward issue -- there's a 1 hour offset SOMETIMES in the created_date field in civicrm_contact table, and what gets outputted in a CiviCRM report (see the attached images).

MySQL is set to use SYSTEM time as well as PHP - ie, and no timezone conflict.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We are using Drupal 7 + CiviCRM 4.6.

  • what is your users timezone setting in drupal? – petednz - fuzion♦ Nov 26 '15 at 0:13
  • It's strange, both were set to Eastern (-4). However, when I switched my timezone to UTC (0) in Drupal, the timestamps were displayed as expected, but now we have that PHP/MySQL timestamp mismatch warning. I also noticed the created_date is set as "TIMESTAMP" in the database, but the format is clearly DATETIME -- is there a reason for this? – Alex Katayama Nov 26 '15 at 20:07
  • really not sure sorry – petednz - fuzion♦ Nov 26 '15 at 23:59

It's a timezone issue. Your database and drupal timezone must be same. Sometime it's happen due to Daylight saving time.

In case anyone has the same version (4.6.7), this was the fix for our issue - Drupal timezone code does not handle UTC correctly - https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/6576
