ID: 21966 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: david@sxsw.com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Gentoo Linux 1.4 PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Reason explained in previous comment.

Although that doesn't seem to be documented, I think that's a feature, because it helps doing date calculations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-30 12:40:30] david@sxsw.com #!/usr/bin/php -q <? system("cat test"); for($x=1; $x<=12; $x++) { echo "$x = ".date("m", mktime(0,0,0,$x))."\n"; } ?> 1 = 01 2 = 03 3 = 03 4 = 04 5 = 05 6 = 06 7 = 07 8 = 08 9 = 09 10 = 10 11 = 11 12 = 12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21966&edit=1
