false date and gmdate!!!!

guillaum

Hello

I have a strange behaviour with the date and gmdate in php3.0.12:

                date("D-d-M-Y",mktime(0,0,0,4,1,2001)); returns Sun-01-Apr-2001 
                date("D-d-M-Y",mktime(0,0,0,4,2,2001)); returns Thu-29-Mar-2001 
                date("D-d-M-Y",mktime(0,0,0,4,3,2001)); returns Fri-30-Mar-2001 
                date("D-d-M-Y",mktime(0,0,0,4,4,2001)); returns Sat-31-Mar-2001 
                date("D-d-M-Y",mktime(0,0,0,4,5,2001)); returns Thu-05-Apr-2001

gmdate gives a correct result for 5/4 but not after (3 days delay)
Can someone explain me? It seems a bug, but I cannot believe it.

If you put all of those together, it causes a problem if you don't give them variable names. You can probably fix all of this by giving one to each date function. Like this:

$date1 = date("D-d-M-Y",mktime(0,0,0,4,1,2001)); // returns Sun-01-Apr-2001
$date2 = date("D-d-M-Y",mktime(0,0,0,4,2,2001)); // returns Mon-02-Apr-2001
$date3 = date("D-d-M-Y",mktime(0,0,0,4,3,2001)); // returns Tue-03-Apr-2001
$date4 = date("D-d-M-Y",mktime(0,0,0,4,4,2001)); // returns Wed-04-Apr-2001
$date5 = date("D-d-M-Y",mktime(0,0,0,4,5,2001)); // returns Thu-05-Apr-2001

You can test this by using the following:

echo $date1;
echo "<BR>";
echo $date2;
echo "<BR>";
echo $date3;
echo "<BR>";
echo $date4;
echo "<BR>";
echo $date5;

I've tested it, and it works correctly.

Hello

I tested your code and it does not work correctly! I get:

Sun-01-Apr-2001
Thu-29-Mar-2001
Fri-30-Mar-2001
Sat-31-Mar-2001
Thu-05-Apr-2001

Any idea?

I repeat I use php 3.0.12

Hmm. I'm not sure what the problem is, then. Perhaps there is a problem with part of your PHP installation. Sorry.
