[FX.php List] Even stranger date math...

[Troy Meyers]

Bob,

The strtotime() assumes a US English date and time, so I guess they built in the DST adjustment. Note that in my prior post I included an offset time of 0... I think if you don't supply that it defaults to the current time, which could cause further troubles.

No, DST ends on November 4th this year.
