RE: [PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #7038: mktime returns incorrect values for some years

Could this not just be your region's day-light saving time for those years? The difference you've shown is 3600 seconds, or 60 minutes, or 1 hour (typical daylight saving duration). This is picked up by the OS you are using. If you don't want daylight savings time to kick in, then try using gmmktime, which uses GMT dates (which DON'T use DST).

For some years (1972, 1978, 1989, 1995, 2000, etc.) it returns 90000 instead of 86400. The following code will demonstrate this. <?php function mktime_test () { for ($i = 0; $i < 100; ++$i) { /* $timestamp should = 86400. (ie: 60 x 60 x 24). */ $timestamp = mktime (0,0,0,10,30,$i) - mktime (0,0,0,10,29,$i); if ($i < 10) { $year = "200" . $i; } else if ($i < 70) { $year = "20" . $i; } else { $year = "19" . $i; } printf (" $year - $timestamp<br> "); } } mktime_test (); ?> -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
