Description:
------------
php5.7, i cannot use a recent version but I think this issue is still there

The problem that I don't understand is a date come 2 times, with different time value. EXACT SAME TIME for about 1h in total

The example I give start at 

2020-11-01 00:45:00 1604205900
2020-11-01 00:50:00 1604206200
2020-11-01 00:55:00 1604206500
2020-11-01 01:00:00 1604206800

but after few 5 min jump (300)

it return back to 

2020-11-01 01:00:00 1604210400

even if the time is different, I just don't understand, if you continue it will get to 2 hours and it's fine but just this sequence does not work.

I try the first 11 months without any issue until I get to this date!!

The only thing I see is they are big number but still it continue fine, The thing is, php seam to have a bug (hardcoded) related to this date, I say PHP it's maybe linux, I just don't understand it...

My concern is date >= then 1604210400 are all BAD...

Please help me to understand the issue I am stuck with that lol, a bug from date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $i)??? 

Test script:
---------------
for ($i = 1604205900; $i <= 1604211000; $i += 300) {
    $time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $i);
    echo ($time."    ".$i."<BR/>");
}

Expected result:
----------------

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.

Presumably the sandbox you're talking about is running in a different timezone than the you're using (one three hours to the west). See requinix's comment about Daylight Saving.
