Re: odd while behavior...

This is because of your mktime() call. You're trying to get the zeroth day of the month, which is the last day of the preceding month. Using mktime(0, 0, 0, $i, 1) instead should give you the desired results, assuming you do start at 1, and not 0 as you have in your code. --- Simon Welsh On 17/10/2010, at 4:12, Jason Pruim <lists@pruimphotography.com> wrote: > Okay so I'm just playing around with some stuff trying to learn more and expand my > knowledge and I ran into something I don't understand...
