Hello, On 10/23/06, Ilia Alshanetsky <ilia@prohost.org> wrote: 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));
    }
To be exact: if (NUM_ARGS()==0 && !gmt) { RETURN_LONG((long)time(NULL)); } as gmmktime uses php_mktime as well, but in GMT mode.
