Is there a problem in my ini file or what is the deal.
Are you sure this isn't like Javascript's "getMonth" function? Its index may begin at 0, making "day 0" the "first day" of the year. HTH, Todd Boyd Web Programmer

yup.. <?php $thismonth = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,1,1,2008)); echo $thismonth['yday'] . PHP_EOL; //0 $thismonth = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,12,31,2008)); echo $thismonth['yday'] . PHP_EOL; //365 ?> (it is a leap year) so recap: yday 0 = 1st jan
