Doc #47084 [Com]: Calling mktime() w/o arguments raises strict error

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47084&edit=1 ID: 47084 Comment by: karlorbell at hotmail dot com Reported by: tacker@php.net Summary: Calling mktime() w/o arguments raises strict error Status: Closed Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: As the previous commenter has said, this is an invalid E_STRICT message. People use mktime() without arguments as a locale-aware version of time() - it's not an uncommon usage. As the two functions do not give the same output, it is ludicrous to issue a warning to use the other. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-16 10:49:40] niklas dot karlssonn at gmail dot com The error message its not correct either, use the time() instead of mktime? The functions does not return the same result, time() doesn't respect the timezone setting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-05-26 02:39:25] pansit at yahoo dot com dot ph I would like to ask (as this has been brought up from pear but no answer was made), why is time() recommended to use than gmmktime()? I'm using PHP 5.3.6 with strict on and I got this message: Strict Standards: gmmktime() [function.gmmktime.html]: You should be using the time() function instead ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-01 12:05:53] salathe@php.net This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. I have added a note and changelog to the mktime page to inform of the E_STRICT when called with no arguments, making reference to use time() instead. apradhan at sampatti dot com: that is intended behaviour. There are only 30 days in June, so by using 31 as the $day argument it rolls over to the first of July. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-01 12:01:15] svn@php.net Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of salathe Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&revision=286620 Log: Fixes #47084 Document mktime() E_STRICT with no arguments ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-01 06:14:38] apradhan at sampatti dot com I have seen a issue in mktime() for the date of 31 july like if we write echo date("m",mktime(0,0,0,07-1,31, 2009)); Above code will give output : 07 while logically it should be 6. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
