I get an hour shift when using GMT that puts me in the previous day. I'm GMT -8. I can't think right now, but for some reason it seems like it's shifting in the wrong direction or at least the opposite of what I'd expect. I guess it is subtracting my 8 hours and then shifting, making it 16:00 of the previous day. It seems like it should add 8 hours since GMT is 8 ahead of me. This is making my head hurt, maybe someone else can make it make sense. # php <?php $ts = mktime( 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2003 ); echo date ("Y-m-d H:i:s",$ts)."\n"; $ts2 = strtotime('+1 month GMT', $ts); echo date ("Y-m-d H:i:s",$ts2)."\n"; $ts3 = strtotime('+1 month', $ts); echo date ("Y-m-d H:i:s",$ts3)."\n"; ?> X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.3 Content-type: text/html 2003-01-01 00:00:00 2003-01-31 16:00:00 2003-02-01 00:00:00
