ID: 49422 Updated by: scottmac@php.net Reported By: dolby at xpteam dot eu -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: gentoo PHP Version: 5.2.11RC1 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Since there is no September 31st it becomes October 1st, this is expected behavior.

Reproduce code: --------------- echo date("r", mktime(0,0,0,9,31,2009)); Expected result: ---------------- Wed, 30 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0200 Actual result: -------------- Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0200 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49422&edit=1
