If this is the way it's always been (accepting zero month and day values as you described earlier), then I suspect that you'll be reluctant to change behavior without significant thought (and of course, I wouldn't expect otherwise, even though I've expressed my disagreement with the current behavior). What's the best way to get this fully documented? Should I submit a new bug report relating to the documentation, rather than a PHP bug? Jack
