RE: [PHP] mktime error
I got 1081033200 Two thoughts: 1 - is $time a global variable predefined as the current time? Don't think it is?!?!?! 2 - Could it be to do with local time settings i.e. comparing american dates with UK dates (1/Aug/04 and 8/1/04)?

Re: [PHP] mktime error
Your Server will most likely run in a different timezone. If both of you would use gmktime() the result will be the same. As for the negative result: Had the same problem some time ago - seams to me as if PHP doesn't like those 0,0,0 ( try 0,0,1 instead ) - You can adjust the result by reducing the result by 1 $var = mktime ( 0,0,0,4,4,2004 ) - 1 ; -- red Am Montag, 5.

Re: [PHP] mktime error
Woops little mistake there, first of all it's 'gmmktime()' secondly the source should look something like: $var = mktime ( 0,0,1,4,4,2004 ) - 1; You can find a nice article on this topic here: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/ehresman20030911.php3?page=1 -- red [...] Your Server will most likely run in a different timezone.

Re: [PHP] mktime error
Guys, second thought. mktime builds a unix time stamp (since the unix epoch, Jan 1, 1970 [I guess]), the difference are maybe due to time zones, because its the number of seconds since Jan,1 1970.

Re: [PHP] mktime error
You could do this like this ( as it is faster ):
function CreateDate($day, $month, $year) {
return $year.$month.$day.'00';
}
CreateDate(04,04,2004) - 2004040400
But make sure you add the leading zero to $month and $day ( can
be easily done (number_format for example) )

if you need to turn the result of mktime() into a valid mysql timestamp
format then put these 2 lines in your code when needed:
?
//create valid mysql timestamp(14 digit)
//change to fit your liking
//sorry turned into a function...
function CreateDate($day, $month, $year);
//make sure no arguments were left out
if!empty($day) !empty($month) !empty($year)){
$time=mktime(0,0,0,'$month','$year');
//convert to a formated stamp
$time=date(YmdHis, $time);
return $time;}
