Re: mktime Problem

Am rather fearful that it might very well be a hardware problem... another thing was that the results only switched if you reloaded the page continuosly... I tried running that particular code block in a loop and the result would remain constant throughout the loop... Of course, I can't say that it proves anything, but reloading the page would yield the 2 results rather quickly while a loop of 100 times in the same script would have the same results all the time. PHP version is 3.0.16 and OS is Redhat 6.2 all our other servers are running Redhat 6.1... I'm wondering if this is a problem with the libs in Redhat 6.2...
