The phpinfo() output has nothing to do with zoneminder, it's directly
reporting the php configuration being used by apache.

Where is the php.ini that showed the America/New_York value? What is
the last modified date/time on that file, compared to the last
[re]start of the httpd on that machine?

The "date.timezone" value can be set within a php script, and that
may be relevant to zoneminder, but the phpinfo() function is getting
the system-level settings -- which come from the php.ini that is
being loaded.

It is possible that you have .ini files in /etc/php.d. I doubt that
they would be overriding the php.ini's TZ setting, but you should
check.
