Be careful when using mktime with the date function to create past and future dates in countries
where the clocks adjust for daylight savings time.
All the examples here use mktime ( 0,0,0, ... which will give you problems as daylight savings time
goes out of effect.
If you now use date("M-d-Y", mktime ( 0,0,0, ... in a loop to generate days over a period
where the clock goes back an hour, you will generate that date twice!
Avoid this by creating days at lunchtime rather than midnight with mktime ( 11,0,0, ...
