RE: Month Values in UNIX timestamps and workaround(Newbie)

If you just want the number of seconds in each month then ... function SecondsInMonth($month, $year) { return mktime(0,0,0,$month + 1, 1, $year) - mktime(0,0,0,$month, 1, $year); } ... works, although you may need to play around with the is_dst parameter to fine tune it.

I have had an idea that maybe eaiser to implement but slower. Could one or two people tell me what the think and if it is a good idea. I am also interested in speed and efficiany of both methods. The original method is: I do a few maths functions to get the value in seconds of each month etc New Method: I do string compares with with dates then convert them to UNIX timestamps.
