Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

This is not a bug in PHP, but in FreeBSD's mktime routines. But as you also did not specify your timezone, I can't even explain it.
