note 100263 added to function.mktime

The example by 'contact at phpmember dot com' doesn't work as expected. <?php # the author used $days = floor((time()-mktime(null,null,null,1,0,date("Y")))/86400); # but presumably wanted to achieve smth like $days = floor((time()-mktime(date('H'),date('i'),date('s'),1,1))/86400); ?> 1) Using 'null' as an argument in mktime() doesn't have the effect of omitting an argument. It becomes 0, not the current value. The manual says 'Arguments may be left out in order from right to left; any arguments thus omitted will be set to the current value according to the local date and time.' 2) Setting days to 0 means the last day of the previous month. Thus the example gives wrong results (adds 1 day). 3) The last argument is unnecessary, omitting it would also set the year to the current value. ---- Server IP: 217.146.68.100 Probable Submitter: 83.178.58.14 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/100263 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100263/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100263/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100263/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100263/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100263/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100263/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100263 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/100263 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
