And, of course, some countries have time-zones that are off by a HALF hour. Yes, really. USE THE BUILTIN FUNCTIONS Somebody else has already gone to a great deal of trouble to get this date/time crap right, and you don't want to do it yourself. All the mktime() functions know about time zones, and all of them know better than to give you nonsense dates. They'll wrap-around quite nicely for you. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out? Like Music?
