Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47084&edit=1 ID: 47084 Comment by: pansit at yahoo dot com dot ph 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: 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 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-13 10:25:20] tacker@php.net Description: ------------ This code below will generate a strict error. Also the documentation a) states that mktime() can be called w/o arguments int mktime ([ int $Stunde [, int $Minute [, int $Sekunde [, int $Monat [, int $Tag [, int $Jahr [, int $is_dst ]]]]]]] ) b) does not recommend using time() instead of mktime() Reproduce code: --------------- <?php mktime(); ?> Actual result: -------------- Strict standards: mktime(): You should be using the time() function instead ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47084&edit=1
