Bug #53942 [Opn->Bgs]: Unexpected date("m",mktime_output) Output

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53942&edit=1 ID: 53942 Updated by: dtajchreber@php.net Reported by: jay_roplekar at hotmail dot com Summary: Unexpected date("m",mktime_output) Output -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: Ubuntu PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: $tm = date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); $quarter = ceil(date("m", $tm)/3); Your example doesn't make sense. The second parameter of date should be a Unix timestamp... date('Y-m-d H:i:s') returned a formatted date string. Use time(), mktime(), strtotime(), date("U"), or any number of the other functions that return a Unix timestamp to create your $tm variable...

Because date is:'.date("m", $tm).' Time is:'.$tm.' month is:'.date("m").'<br>'; #### Output Below shows that date("m", $tm) is producing wrong output, but date("m") is producing correct output. The PHP version is 5.2.10-2ubuntu6.5 but I believe that does not matter as the bug reports I have reviewed don't talk about this behavior. #### Current Quarter Is: 4 Because date is:12 Time is:2011-02-06 15:25:00 month is:02 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53942&edit=1
