We are happy to tell you that you just discovered Daylight Savings
Time. For more information see:

Instead of using mktime/date consider using gmmktime and gmdate which do
not suffer from DST.

Description:
------------
When you try to create a succession of months using the following code,
you will notice a very ugly bug that results in skipping months
Test script:
---------------
for(
$i = strtotime("2004-10-01" );
$i <= mktime();
$i += (24*60*60 * cal_days_in_month( CAL_GREGORIAN, date("m", $i),
date("Y", $i) ))
) {
$year_month = date("Ymd H:i:s", $i);
echo "<br />".$year_month;
}
Expected result:
----------------
20041001 00:00:00
20041101 00:00:00
20041201 00:00:00
Actual result:
--------------
20041001 00:00:00
20041031 23:00:00
20041201 23:00:00
