Description:
------------
After 2011-10-30 03:59:59, there should be 2011-10-30 04:00:00

Test script:

<?php
$t1 = "1319936371";

	$t = $t1+$i;
	echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $t)."<br>";

We are happy to tell you that you just discovered Daylight Savings
Time. For more information see:
http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html
Instead of using mktime/date consider using gmmktime and gmdate which do
not suffer from DST.
