Re: note 8385 added to strftime

Have you looked at the comments in strtotime()? See also: http://bugs.php.net/bugs.php?id=4833 Are you using the latest version of PHP? This was a bug in 4.0.0 apparently. I tried this code: function a($date_str) { $uts = strtotime($date_str); $y = strftime("%Y", $uts); $m = strftime("%m", $uts); $d = strftime("%d", $uts); print "DVdate: $date_str, m/d/y $m/$d/$y strfdate: " . strftime("%D", $uts)."\n"; } a("1/02/2003"); a("1/01/2003"); and it gave the expected answers using the latest PHP. --- johnfree@pacbell.net wrote: > > I think my previous complaint about the month was > incorrect, rather it it the DAY that is one off!
