Re: timestamp question

From the manual...under Date & Time functions. mktime -- Get UNIX timestamp for a date Description int mktime(int hour, int minute, int second, int month, int day, int year, int [is_dst] ); Warning: Note the strange order of arguments, which differs from the order of arguments in a regular UNIX mktime() call and which does not lend itself well to leaving out parameters from right to left (see below). It is a common error to mix these values up in a script. Returns the Unix timestamp corresponding to the arguments given. This timestamp is a long integer containing the number of seconds between the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970) and the time specified. .. -philip In article <F99F3F7C7049D211BC700008C7B1F0900759AB3D@texas.econophone.com>, Paulson, Joseph V. \"Jay\" <jay.paulson@viatel.com> wrote: >Hello everyone-- > >Thanks for the help with the calendar function stuff I just asked.
