Why not use the built in DateTime/TimeZone functionality?

<?php

$mysqlDate="2009-04-01 15:36:13";

$dateTime = new DateTime ($mysqlDate);
$dateTime->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('America/Los_Angeles'));

?>

DateTime Class: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php
DateTimeZone Class: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/class.datetimezone.php

PHP’s supported Timezones: http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
