When did Hungary then switch to summertime? And have you tested what results you get if you change the dates to match the date when Hungary switched to summertime? > Timezone setting is also good on my machine.

Did you test PHP as an Apache module or as standalone interpreter from command line? Note that Apaches startup environment, especially timezone settings, may be something else than what you get when you are running from command line. Did some testing myself, running from command line. When my timezone is Europe/Helsinki, I get 23 hours difference, and switching to Europe/Tallinn, 24 hours (Estonians didn't switch to summertime), both are correct results. - Jouni Ahto Ah, ott Magyarországon már a nyár, itt pedig már nem esik a hó... :(
