Re: Date Error

I found the same problems. For your specific case, you can use date ("t"); to get the number of days in the current month. I found that in general, using 0 or negative numbers to do date arithmetic with mktime() gave incorrect results, but this is an OSX specific issue. Additions seemed to be OK.
