PF 8 comes with a new function format_date for replacement strftime function, which is deprecated in PHP > 8.1
When I call strftime on my server, time is correct
When I call format_date, time is one hour difference (one houre before)
Timezone is GMT+1
Seems the new function does not work with the time zone.
I tested on different sites

displays the time well, but not the text (month or days)

Code
$lcmerid = explode('|', $locale['meridiem']
;
can not be right. In Germany we have no am,pm or AM and PM for time.

It can be solved using showdate and set the correct server offset compensation. But fact is PF does not work with the time zone settings anymore

Below is changed function showdate, fixes a bug with daylight saving time.
Maybe it can be imported in next update (if)
Code
// Format the date & time accordingly
function showdate($format, $val) {
global $settings, $userdata;
if (isset($userdata['user_offset']) {
$offset = $userdata['user_offset']+$settings['serveroffset'];
} else {
$offset = $settings['timeoffset']+$settings['serveroffset'];
}
// Correction for Daylight saving Time
$dls = 0;
if (date('I', $val+($offset*3600)) == 1){
$dls = 3600;
}
if ($format == "shortdate" || $format == "longdate" || $format == "forumdate" || $format == "newsdate" {
return format_date($settings[$format], $val+$dls+($offset*3600));
} else {
return format_date($format, $val+$dls+($offset*3600));
}
}
