The format command returns different result if the 'U' for timestamp is specified. It also returns the same (wrong) result for DateTime::getTimestamp() as well. The clients are booking entry into a place at a specific time, for example 7am in Singapore on the 12 April. Clients can book right up to the entry time (if there is space available). I want to make sure they are not trying to book in the past. The booking system is in the UK but clients can book from anywhere. I cannot rely on them having the right time on their systems (or being in the right place). Plus this would mean relying on client supplied data, which is a no-no ;) I have previously used a gmt offset, which was good enough as there are not that many people who book close to the entry time. But now its time to improve this and use proper time zone info which can change without my input. If no-one can find a problem with my code I will submit it as a bug.
