As Nigel pointed out, you should be aware of DST (Daylight Savings Time) when using mktime(). Some systems will return a negative value if you use 0 as the hour, as it will simply skip from (for example) 23:59:59 to 01:00:00. Instead use 12 (noon) as the hour and you won't get a negative timestamp or a date in the 1960's. This code will work with DST: $today = mktime(12, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d"), date("Y")); ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41045 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41045&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41045&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
