PHP Time function issue

I need to add X days to current time

    echo date("d.m.Y H:i",time());
    echo "<br>";
    echo date("d.m.Y H:i",time()+5*24*60*60);

return correct results

    18.10.2013 14:22
    23.10.2013 14:22

but if i change 5 to 10 then 

    18.10.2013 14:22
    28.10.2013 13:22

13:22 instead of 14:22 in result. 1 hour is missed.

What can be with it?

To add day to a date you can use DateTime (maybe will be easier)

php.net DateTime

Use strtotime function:

examples: 

echo date("d.m.Y H:i",strtotime("+10 days")) ;
echo date("d.m.Y H:i",strtotime("+6 hours 30 seconds"))

strtotime function ignores the transition to winter time.

Daylight savings ends on the 27th of October (so we fall back an hour) which explains the issue you are seeing. Try it with another month and you will get the expected result!
