Dates Created from Strings with Timezone Offsets Aren't Properly Formatted When Using 'p'

[dustinwilson]

Description

The following code:

<?php
$date = new \DateTimeImmutable('2023-01-25T00:00:00+00:00');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:sp');

Resulted in this output:

2023-01-25T00:00:00+00:00

But I expected this output instead:

2023-01-25T00:00:00Z

PHP Version

8.2.1

Operating System

MacOS Monterey (12.6.3)

Currently support p is with timezone type 3 or type 2 "UTC" or explicit "Z" https://php.watch/versions/8.0/date-utc-p-format :)

<?php

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Berlin');
$date = new \DateTime('2023-01-25T00:00:00');
echo $date->format('p');

?>

For missing offset is default offset:
Expected result: +01:00
For explicit offset +00:00
Expected result: +00:00
Or !localtime

Expected result with p and timezone UTC
$date2 = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
echo $date2->format('p'); // Z

@damianwadley Why did you change this to "Verified" — I see no triage report as to why this issue occurs, and whether this is an issue at all.

I assumed it had been verified because the "needs triage" was removed. Though I did briefly confirm that "p" wasn't outputting just Z which it's documented to do.
