Check your hardware time
The problem you just described often happens when you tell Unix/Linux that your hardware time is GMT rather than local time. CDT is -5 GMT so this looks suspecious to me, try changing your hadware BIOS time to GMT (five hours ahead of CDT and 6 ahead of CST) and see if this corrects the problem.

gmstrftime
GMSTRFTIME(3) 1 GMSTRFTIME(3)
gmstrftime - Format a GMT/UTC time/date according to locale settings
SYNOPSIS
string gmstrftime (string $format, [int $timestamp = time()])
DESCRIPTION
Behaves the same as strftime(3) except that the time returned is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For example, when run in Eastern Standard Time
(GMT -0500), the first line below prints "Dec 31 1998 20:00:00", while the second prints "Jan 01 1999 01:00:00".
PARAMETERS
o $format
- See description in strftime(3).
o $timestamp
- The optional $timestamp parameter is an integer Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if a $timestamp is not
given. In other words, it defaults to the value of time(3).
RETURN VALUES
Returns a string formatted according to the given format string using the given $timestamp or the current local time if no timestamp is
given. Month and weekday names and other language dependent strings respect the current locale set with setlocale(3).
EXAMPLES
Example #1
gmstrftime(3) example
<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US');
echo strftime("%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S", mktime(20, 0, 0, 12, 31, 98)) . "
";
echo gmstrftime("%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S", mktime(20, 0, 0, 12, 31, 98)) . "
";
?>
