You should set your timezone to php setting. There are some ways to do it:

Timestamps are the number of seconds elapsed since January 1st, 1970 GMT. That's a fixed number, not depending on whether you're saving daylight and independent of timezones. When you convert back to "human readable time", that's when your timezone and DST settings need to be taken into account. Set your timezone correctly or explicitly set a timezone on a DateTime object when formatting a timestamp to make this work.
