Server strtotime incorrect

问题

Both strtotime and mktime are outputting an incorrect timestamp and it's driving me mad.

If I add the following strtotime('2012-10-09');

I get 1349701200

Which is actually Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:00:00 GMT

I'm using my localhost, running MAMP. I'm assuming it's a server timezone issue, or something, but I don't understand why, or how to fix it.

Any help?

strtotime uses default timezone to interpret the string. If you want different timezone you could specify it explicitly or change it for all calls:

<?php

if (date_default_timezone_get()) {
    echo  'date_default_timezone:  ' . date_default_timezone_get()."\n";
}

echo strtotime('2012-10-09')."\n"; # default timezone
echo strtotime('2012-10-09 UTC')."\n";
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
echo strtotime('2012-10-09')."\n";
?>

Output

date_default_timezone:  Europe/London
1349737200
1349740800
1349740800

POSIX timestamp counts number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. For example, midnight (00:00) in New York may be 20:00 in UTC at this time of year (the same POSIX timestamp). But 00:00 in UTC and 00:00 in New York correspond to different moments in time (different POSIX timestamps). Local clocks follow the Sun usually (roughly speaking) and even if it is night where you are; the Sun shines somewhere on Earth.
