This PHP statement date('Y-m-d',1281394800) returns different values in different servers. One gives me 2010-08-09 and the other 2010-08-10. Could someone please help explain?

Try this and see if you still get different results:
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
echo date('Y-m-d',1281394800);
If you get exactly the same results across servers, you can set the timezone to the one you want. For more information:

Thanks, this was the problem. I havent been keen on the time zone until it bit me here! Thanks for all who responded about the timezone.
Are the servers in (or configured with) different timezones?
date()'s output is timezone-dependent.

Set the time zone:
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
echo date('Y-m-d',1281394800);
date_default_timezone_set — Sets the default timezone used by all date/time functions in a script
