Description:
------------
strtotime() reports an incorrect value for a particular date: 2010-03-15

It seems to think that this day has 23 hours!

Reproduce code:
---------------
---
From manual page: function.strtotime#Description
---
<?php
$a = strtotime("2010-03-14");
$b = strtotime("2010-03-15");

echo "Number of hours difference: ".(($b-$a)/3600)."<br />";

// shows 23 !  WRONG!
// PHP Version 5.2.12
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Number of hours difference: 24

Actual result:
--------------
Number of hours difference: 23

We are happy to tell you that you just discovered Daylight Savings
Time. For more information see:

Instead of using mktime/date consider using gmmktime and gmdate which do
not suffer from DST.
