Append the string "GMT" to all of your datetimes pulled from MySQL or other database that
store date-times in the format "yyyy-mm-dd hh:ii:ss" just prior to converting them to a
unix timestamp with strtotime(). This will ensure you get a valid GMT result for times during
daylight savings.
EXAMPLE:
<?php
$date_time1 = strtotime("2004-04-04 02:00:00"); // returns bad value -1 due to DST
$date_time2 = strtotime("2004-04-04 02:00:00 GMT"); // works great!
?>
