Of course, I meant "; 01:00:01 30-Mar = " in the second line (although the mktime() call is correct)! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-12 05:27:07] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think this must be related to daylight savings time -- 30th March 2003 is certainly the date on which DST begins in western Europe. Can you try this, and see what you get: echo "23:59:59 29-Mar = ", mktime(23, 59, 59, 3, 29, 2003), "; 00:00:01 30-Mar = ", mktime(1, 0, 1, 3, 30, 2003); If those timestamps are 2 seconds apart, then your original mktime() is falling into the limbo of the "lost hour" due to the clocks going back (the second after 29-Mar-2003 23:59:59 must be regarded as 30-Mar-2003 01:00:00), and the algorithm used on your system returns a nonsense value when that happens. Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-12 02:31:17] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, I have also tried (and just tried it again to make sure): $the_day=mktime(0,0,0,3,30,2003); Same result, -3662 Anything else I can try to narrow down where the problem might be lying? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-11 15:29:51] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Did you try: $the_day=mktime(0,0,0,3,30,2003); ?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-11 14:55:01] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry if I misunderstand, but as my first post shows I have tried the year as 2003, as well as 03. No difference, and using the 29th as the day instead works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-11 10:22:27] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think that for some reason on your system, 03 is interpreted as 0003 and not 2003 as you intended (works fine on linux). Could you try changing the year to 2003 and see if that fixes the problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
