hi, 
it seems that time() doens't work correctyl, either in mysql or php, but i thinks it's php. may be aynone can verify this ?

test-code:
    // check timestamps...
    $t1 = time();
    $sql = $theApp->sql->select_row("NOW() as t, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()) as s"); 
    $t2 = $sql['s'];
    $sqlt = $sql['t'];
    error_log("php: $t1, mysql: $t2, dif: ".($t2-$t1).", php-time: ".date("H:i:s").", sql-time: ".$sqlt);

outputs:
php: 1035683199, mysql: 1035679599, dif: -3600, php-time: 02:46:39, sql-time: 2002-10-27 02:46:39

as you can see, the date reported is the same but the timestamp exactly differs one hour. i think this is because of summer/winter time, but im not sure. so either mysql or php returns wrong timestamp !!

We are happy to tell you that you just discovered Daylight Savings
Time. For more information see:

Instead of using mktime/date consider using gmmktime and gmdate which do
not suffer from DST.
