      Description

      This is dependent on the server/PHP timezone being set to something other than UTC - in our case it was Australia/Perth
      1. Add a custom profile field for date only;
      2. Edit a user profile, select a date for the custom field and save;
      3. View the profile - the date will be a day earlier

      The issue lies in /user/profile/field/datetime/field.class.php edit_save_data_preprocess() method is using PHP date function rather than moodle's userdate function.
