I tried running the following script on three different servers:
<?php
echo gmdate('m, d, Y', gmmktime(0,0,0,3,23,2000) );
?>
On two of the servers, I got 03, 23, 2000 back. On the other,
however, I got 03, 22, 2000. This doesn't make any sense to me.
On the servers that return the correct date (03, 23, 2000),
gmmktime(0,0,0,3,23,2000) returns 953769600. On the server that
returns the incorrect date (03, 22, 2000), gmmktime(0,0,0,3,23,2000)
returns 953766000. There's a difference of 3600 between the two,
which makes me think that some daylight savings time setting is to
blame.
