note 77490 added to function.mktime

NB: one 'gotcha' with the implementation of mktime()'s parameters: <?php for( $i = 1 ; $i <= 12 ; $i++ ) { echo "Month '$i' is: " . date( "F" , mktime( 0 , 0 , 0 , $i ) ) . "\n"; } ?> Will output: Month '1' is: January Month '2' is: March Month '3' is: March Month '4' is: May Month '5' is: May Month '6' is: July Month '7' is: July Month '8' is: August Month '9' is: October Month '10' is: October Month '11' is: December Month '12' is: December on the 31st day of every month. Why? Because the 5th parameter "day" defaults to "right now," which will not work reliably for days after the 28th. To make sure this doesn't happen, specify the first day of the month: <?php mktime( 0 , 0 , 0 , $i , 1 ) ?> ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 141.211.170.67 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77490 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77490/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77490/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77490/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77490/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77490/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77490/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77490 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77490 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
