http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php

"The function expects to be given a string containing an English date format 
and will try to parse that format into a Unix timestamp (the number of seconds 
since January 1 1970 00:00:00 UTC), relative to the timestamp given in now, or 
the current time if now is not supplied."

Note in particular the the last nine words: "or the current time if now is not 
supplied."

Your first call to strtotime() supplies the 'now' parameter. The second one 
does not. That they do not produce the same result should not be a surprise.
