New Comment:
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.
DST

Description:
------------
date() returns Saturday 27th March 2004 instead of Sunday 28th March
2004. mktime is OK.We have a diary with two consecutive Saturdays -
hoorah!
Reproduce code:
---------------
// this proves there's a bug in php dates!!
for($i=1;$i<32;$i++) {
$monnum=3;
$year=2004;
$date2= date('D jS F Y',mktime(0,0,0,$monnum,$i,$year));
$d3=mktime(0,0,0,$monnum,$i,$year);
echo "<br>".$date2;
echo $d3;
}
Expected result:
----------------
Each date correct
Actual result:
--------------
Two Saturdays and no Sunday
