cal_days_in_month wierdness

[The_Chancer]

If you are going to try and get the number of days in a month, surely this would work...

echo cal_days_in_month(0, "April", "2003")."<br>";

Which would give the answer of 30....

But why in that case do I get 2452641 days ???

Any ideas would be appreciated...

Hi!
RTMF: here is a quote from the official doc.

cal_days_in_month
(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0)

cal_days_in_month -- Return the number of days in a month for a given year and calendar
Description
int cal_days_in_month ( int calendar, int month, int year)


This function will return the number of days in the month of year for the specified calendar

As you can see the 2nd argument of that function must be an integer, not a string...
BTW, this works fine:

echo cal_days_in_month(0, 4, "2003")."<br>";
