OMFG!
I'm so sorry about this - pretty late here in Germany :(
It was absolutely my fault as i didnt set the brakets correctly.
$remaining = floor((strtotime(str_replace('-','',$proxy[6])) -
time())/(60*60*24));
Works as aspected - i am sorry for this bugreport - should have
triple-checked it before posting it.
Have a sunny weekend guys!

You might want to rethink your code there :)
time()/60*60*24 is going to give you the approximate number of days
since 1970
which is a bit over 15000. your strtotime() is going to return the
number of
seconds since 1970. Then you subtract the number of days from the
number of
seconds? That makes no sense, but PHP is doing exactly what you are
asking for.
You should be using http://php.net/datetime for stuff like this anyway,
not
timestamps.

Description:
------------
When dealing with a MySQL-Datetime Tiemstamp i've encountered the
following Bug which leads to an error resulting in a wrong integer
(resulting days).
$mysql is an array containing a mysql datetime at point [6]
"2011-06-21"
If $mysql[6] is in the future and time() is the present unix-timestamp
we're getting a wrong result in $remaining (days).
Test script:
---------------
$remaining = floor(strtotime(str_replace('-','',$mysql[6])) -
time()/(60*60*24));
Expected result:
----------------
29
Actual result:
--------------
1305920914
