Don't know about others, but this makes more sense to me:
<?php
function dateserial($year,$month,$day,$hour,$minute,$timezone = "UTC") {
$orgTZ = date_default_timezone_get();
date_default_timezone_set($timezone);
$retval = mktime($hour,$minute,0,$month,$day,$year);
date_default_timezone_set($orgTZ);
return $retval;
}
?>
The order makes more sense and the timezone defaults to UTC unless otherwise specified. The fact
that you have to set the timezone gives you more control and forces you to be aware of it.
