#22163 [Opn]: mktime returns -3662

ID: 22163 User updated by: andrew@strawberry-world.com Reported By: andrew@strawberry-world.com Status: Open Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: MacOS X 10.2 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: The first result I get is when mktime() is set to: $the_day=mktime(2,0,0,3,30,2003); and the result is: 1048989600 instead of -1 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-12 08:03:47] mgf@php.net Maybe -- or maybe my arithmetic is off! Could you possibly do a bit more testing and report the first time after 01:01:03 that you get a likely result (and what it is!)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-12 07:43:00] andrew@strawberry-world.com really screwy then :-) With the script: <?PHP $the_day=mktime(0,0,0,3,30,2003); echo "$the_day<br>"; echo "23:59:59 29-Mar = ", mktime(23, 59, 59, 3, 29, 2003), "; 01:01:03 30-Mar = ", mktime(1, 1, 3, 3, 30, 2003); ?> I get the result: -3662 23:59:59 29-Mar = 1048982399; 01:01:03 30-Mar = -1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-12 07:28:21] mgf@php.net H'mmm -- I get 23:59:59 29-Mar = 1048982399; 01:00:01 30-Mar = 1048982401 on my system, which is what I expected from your report. There seems to be an extra minute or so of limbo on yours for some reason. Can you try again with: mktime(1, 1, 3, 3, 30, 2003) and let us know the result. If it's about 1048982463, then it seems there's a whole minute in there for which you don't seem to be able to get a valid time. If it's anything else, then something is really screwy. Either way, it seems to be a real bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-12 05:53:05] andrew@strawberry-world.com ok, I used the script: <?PHP $the_day=mktime(0,0,0,3,30,2003); echo "$the_day<br>"; echo "23:59:59 29-Mar = ", mktime(23, 59, 59, 3, 29, 2003), "; 01:00:01 30-Mar = ", mktime(1, 0, 1, 3, 30, 2003); ?> and got: -3662 23:59:59 29-Mar = 1048982399; 01:00:01 30-Mar = -61 I thought it might be a daylight savings time problem as well, hence I thought the extra parameter I normally use would solve the problem, but it didn't. i.e. $the_day=mktime(0,0,0,3,30,2003,0); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-12 05:31:04] mgf@php.net Of course, I meant "; 01:00:01 30-Mar = " in the second line (although the mktime() call is correct)! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
