Description:
------------
I have received a Unix time stamp from my database: 1208991600.
Using a phpMyAdmin it points to 24 April 2008. So does my local PHP show it (using Windows). 
On my web host (Linux), this time stamp is parsed by PHP as 23 April 2008.

An example of this script can be found at:

http://www.fmc-online.nl/unixtime.php5

If needed to check the phpinfo:

http://www.fmc-online.nl/info.php5

Reproduce code:
---------------
$ts = 1208991600;
echo "timestamp = $ts <br>";
echo "php date/time = ".date("d-m-Y", $ts);

Expected result:
----------------
timestamp = 1208991600
php date/time = 24-04-2008

Actual result:
--------------
timestamp = 1208991600
php date/time = 23-04-2008
