I tried using a timezone and that did not make any difference.

I looked at the GNU link on the strtotime page and it states:
1 year
1 year ago
3 years
2 days
In the examples for php it states:
1 day
1 week
next Thursday
last Monday
The syntax is completely different in PHP than GNU: Date Input Formats.
Which brings me back to my original statement, there is a bug in PHP
that interprets "last saturday" (saturday as an example, any day
breaks) incorrectly when daylight savings time is in effect.

There is a link to the format docs on the strtotime manual page.
strtotime() is not a PHP thing, it is a standard library used all over
the place.

Maybe that should be stated in the documentation in the strtotime area
so developers know to add that. What would the syntax be if you were
doing last saturday?

If you specify the timezone at the end of your strtotime string it
should work just fine.

Found a better fix. Instead of using strtotime("last saturday"), try
this:
date("m/d/Y H:i:s",strtotime("-1 week saturday"));
The timechange didn't seem to have any affect to strtotime this way.
