Description:
------------
The mktime function gives strange results when adding something that results between '2004-03-28 01:00:00' and '2004-03-28 01:01:00'.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$STTDate = strToTime('2004-03-28 00:30:00');

$StrangeDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', mktime(date('H',$STTDate),date('i',$STTDate)+30,0,date('m',$STTDate),date('d',$STTDate),date('Y',$STTDate)));


Expected result:
----------------
2004-03-28 01:00:00

Actual result:
--------------
2004-03-28 03:00:00

Just found out that this bug is a problem with summer time conversion. You could check out e.g. 2003-03-30...
In addition:
If you subtract 1 minute from '2004-03-28 03:00:00' it results in '2004-03-28 03:59:00'

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.

Hi Sniper,
thanks for your advice... But shouldn't the daylight saving return 1 instead of 2 hours difference?

Can't confirm this under RH9 and Windows XP using PHP 4.3.5RC3. There was a few timezone bug fixes could you try a snapshot from http://snaps.php.net

What timezone was your server running in? I was running them in GMT.

Can't reproduce with latest CVS / 4.2.3.
Check your timezone.

Just tested to switch the timezone to GMT (former CET), alas same result. Also
echo gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', gmmktime(0, 59+1, 0, 03, 28, 2004));
is giving '2004-03-28 03:00:00'.
Reproduced this on 6 PCs and also in PHP 4.3.3.
Unfortunately I cannot try the latest snapshot, 'cause all machines are production servers. Maybe I could get some time to setup a new one during this week.
Maybe it's nothing but a guess but:
Daylight saving time outside europe starts at 01:00:00 ('cause CET is GMT+1) and inside europe 02:00:00. Could it be that they are used BOTH?
