Presumably Windows users need a test like: if (PHP_OS=="WIN32") code_your_own_mktime(...); // when negative values are to be used else mktime(...); // Unix is OKAY with negative values :-) from your friendly code_your_own dept... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22400&edit=1
