Description:
------------
strtotime("2012-03-21 00:00:01") return value is the same as strtotime("2012-03-21 01:00:01")
both of the are 1332276001
this problem range is 2012-03-21 00:00:00 to 2012-03-21 01:00:00
I don't face this problem in any other dates 

Test script:
---------------
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("2012-03-21 00:00:01"))."\n";
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("2012-03-21 01:00:01"))."\n";

Expected result:
----------------
2012-03-21 00:00:01
2012-03-21 01:00:01

Actual result:
--------------
2012-03-21 01:00:01
2012-03-21 01:00:01

Which timezone? You probably discovered DST in your timezone.

I use date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Tehran");
2012-03-21 is the second day of year in Tehran timezone !!!

Right, so your result is correct. In 2012 Daylight Savings Time started Midnight 
between Tuesday, March 20 and Wednesday, March 21 where the clocks were set ahead 
by 1 hour. That means that 1 second after midnight became 1 second after 1am 
exactly as you are seeing. So there was never a 2012-03-21 00:00:01.
