Be careful if you use combined JavaScript and PHP with strtotime you have to keep in mind, that you
may get different timestamps. The following code will generate the same timestaps:
<?php
echo strtotime("2006-07-31 02:00:00");
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.writeln(Date.UTC(2006, 06, 31, 0, 0, 0));
</script>
First you have to notice, that the Javascript Date.UTC function starts months counting with 0, not
with 1 (for january) - this is documented well. But what I did not know and took me some time to
find out is that you need to modify the time in strtotime() (for me it's 2 hours more than the
JavaScript time). This maybe has something to do with GMT on local server, but I have no idea, so if
you should know the reason why, please let me know.
[Red.: This is because javascript returns UTC]
