Re: Why is mktime(0,0,0,0,0,0) E_STRICT?

Use of mktime(0) and alike is improper use of the function, more over generally it can be traced to an undesired code behavior.

Which is? mktime(0) is just like mktime(24); if it is not the case, there is a bug (it is the case). But I suppose you mean mktime(0,0,0, 0,0,0);? However and for the clarity/sanitiy of this discussion mktime(0,0,0, 0,0,0) does not raise any error, mktime(); does. To solve the only argument in favour of this error message, Derick should simply remove the notice and add these three little line before the arguments parsing: if (ZEND_NUM_ARGS() == 0) {

       RETURN_LONG((long)time(NULL));

} the slow down is then only an extra C function call. It is an easy solution for possibly annoying change. --Pierre
