ok, I used the script:
<?PHP

$the_day=mktime(0,0,0,3,30,2003);
echo "$the_day<br>";
echo "23:59:59 29-Mar = ", mktime(23, 59, 59, 3, 29, 2003),    ";
01:00:01 30-Mar = ", mktime(1, 0, 1, 3, 30, 2003);

?>

and got:

-3662
23:59:59 29-Mar = 1048982399; 01:00:01 30-Mar = -61

I thought it might be a daylight savings time problem as well, hence I
thought the extra parameter I normally use would solve the problem, but
it didn't. i.e.
$the_day=mktime(0,0,0,3,30,2003,0);

Of course, I meant "; 01:00:01 30-Mar = " in the second line (although
the mktime() call is correct)!

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.

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?

Did you try:

$the_day=mktime(0,0,0,3,30,2003);

??

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.
