So strtotime it's function that work with local time zones or with UTC? or with both? It's
problem for me because strtotime("now") and strtotime("now GMT") it's have
some diff

I take that to mean the Expected and Actual results in the report were backwards?

Not a bug. "Now" is the same everywhere in the world, thus the same timestamp, but
"midnight" most certainly is not.
