note 13787 modified in function.mktime.php by zak

[Editor's Note: The behavior described below is not a bug. Placing a 0 at the start of a number means that PHP will interprete it as being a octal (base 8) instead of decimal (base 10) number. 08 is an illegal value for a base 8 number. --zak@php.net] While i tried to calculate the age out of the birthday o.s., following error occured: mktime(0, 0, 0, 08, 14, 2001); returned 976748400. But it SHOULD return 997740000. Then I tried: mktime(0, 0, 0, 07, 14, 2001); returned 995061600 This result was correct... So I think, there is a bug in the mktime function. In my script I used then the function strtotime(). Both functions returning the seconds between the given date and the 1.1.1970. mktime sometimes wrong and strtotime always proper with the same input(!). http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php.php
