Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
Unix timestamps are a moment in time and so timezones have no influences
on them. They count the number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00 *UTC*
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

Description:
------------
If I create a new DateTime object with different timezone and then try
to get Unixtimestamp ('U'), I always get timestamp of my current
timezone.
Test script:
---------------
// UTC+5
$date = new DateTime( 'now', new DateTimezone( 'Asia/Yekaterinburg' )
);
echo $date->format( 'U' ) . "\n";
// UTC+3
$date = new DateTime( 'now', new DateTimezone( 'Europe/Moscow' ) );
echo $date->format( 'U' );
Expected result:
----------------
1284734980
1284727780
Actual result:
--------------
1284727780
1284727780
