You should be aware that your have multiple gmtime() function calls in your
script and this could cause problem. the reason is because between your
first and second gmtime() function call, some times have passed(yes, very
very very little but...) so the time return by the 2 gmtime() functions
call is NOT identical. So it's possible that if you run the script in
midnight, the next gmtime() might return the time for the next day! what
you want is have one gmtime() function call and capture the result like:
($min,$hour,$day,$month,$year,$wday) = (gmtime)[1..6];
and then work on the individaul part...
