#30225 [Com]: date("z") returns a bad date

ID: 30225 Comment by: scottm at spamcop dot net Reported By: lywenn at free dot fr Status: Open Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Slackware Linux 10.0 PHP Version: 5.0.0 New Comment: PHP calculates the day of the year from 0-365 as it says in the PHP documentation which is what is presented in the tm struct for tm_yday. GNU date binary lists this from 1-366. [root@devbox root]# date +%j -d"1/1/2004" 001 [root@devbox root]# php -r 'echo date("z", mktime(0,0,0,1,1,2004));' 0 Bogus?
