How can I figure the correct date n hours from now while avoiding daylight savings time adjustments?

Leon Atkinson,

The following script adds an hour to the current date.  Note that even 
though the number of seconds exceeds the normal range of 0 to 59, the 
date will be figured correctly by mktime().  If daylight savings time 
happens in the next hour, mktime() will adjust for this as well.
<?
//get current timestamp
list($hour, $min, $sec, $day, $mon, $yr) = 
   explode(" ",date("H i s d m y"));
//print time 3600 seconds (1 hour) from now
print(date(date("H i s d m y"), 
   mktime($hour, $min, $sec+3600, $mon, $day, $yr));
?>
