I simplified the program I am working on so you can copy and paste the code and see the problem right away. I start with the month of october and year of 2002 ($month and $year). I convert that to the POSIX time ($time) of the the first second of that month. Then, I keep adding 24*3600 seconds to that time until the end of the month. If you run the program, you will see I get TWO 27/10/2002 -- WHY?? WHY? WHY? WHY? Here is the code: ================ START CODE ======================= $year = "2002"; $month = "10"; $time = mktime (0,0,0,$month,1,$year); $last_day_of_the_month = date("t",$time); echo "Last day of the month ($month/$year): $last_day_of_the_month<br><br>"; for ($day=1;$day<=$last_day_of_the_month;$day++) { $new_time = $time + ($day-1)*24*3600; echo date("m/d/Y",$new_time); echo " (seconds added to original time: ".(($day-1)*24*3600).")"; echo "<br>"; } =================== END CODE ===================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19458&edit=1
