I found that using the mktime override function of rickenmeer at hotmail dot com like so: mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1970); returned -3600 instead of 0, because the standard mktime function gets used for 1970 and above. changing the line if ($year >= 1970) return mktime ($hour, $minute, $second, $month, $date, $year); to if ($year > 1970) return mktime ($hour, $minute, $second, $month, $date, $year); solves this (if you're only working with dates, ie. not using time), because the mktime function will not be used around the 'sensitive' area of 1970. I guess it has something to do with daylight savings time or timezone correction (I'm in GMT +1 myself), but I haven't tested exhaustively. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41052 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41052&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41052&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
