ID: 49115 Comment by: php at davidstockton dot com Reported By: php at davidstockton dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Windows XP/Linux PHP Version: 5.2.10 New Comment: Also, not sure if this is related, but the following code has similar strange behavior: for ($i = 1; $i <= 12; $i++) { echo date('F', gmmktime(0,0,0,$i)), "<br/>"; } Output: -------- January March March April May June July August September October November December Expected: ---------- January February March April May June July August September October November December I'd be happy to open a new defect if it's not related, or to be told why these are correct behavior. Thanks.
