Hi I am getting an error with the date() function in php 4.3.9 which is not there in php 4.3.2. Below is the code, followed by the output.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

{
array_push($arrAttns, $newA);
$cellDate = $ua->dateToStamp($cellDate);
$cellDateStp = $ua->addDaysToDate($cellDate, 1);
$cellDate = $ua->stampToDate($cellDateStp);
echo ($cellDateStp." ".$cellDate."<br>");
}

function addDaysToDate($date, $days)
{
$daySecs = $days 24 60 * 60;
$date += $daySecs;
return $date;

$dateArr = explode ("-",$date);
$dateStp = mktime (0,0,0,
$dateArr[1], $dateArr[0], $dateArr[2]);

Whittling down your code to something that's actually capable of running on my machine:

$cellDate = '01-10-2004';
for($i=80; $i>=0; --$i)
{
$cellDate = dateToStamp($cellDate);
$cellDateStp = addDaysToDate($cellDate, 1);
$cellDate = stampToDate($cellDateStp);
echo ($cellDateStp." ".$cellDate."\n");
}

function addDaysToDate($date, $days)
{
$daySecs = $days * 24 * 60 * 60;
$date += $daySecs;
return $date;
}

function dateToStamp($date)
{
$dateArr = explode ("-",$date);
$dateStp = mktime (0,0,0,
$dateArr[1], $dateArr[0], $dateArr[2]);

return $dateStp;
}

function stampToDate($dateStamp)
{
return date ("d-n-Y", $dateStamp);
}

Leaves me with something that works, but at least it narrows down the search by helping eliminate what is not the problem. Have you seen [man]strtotime[/man]? That might simplify your code a lot, and is probably more robust; you'd have to change your date format to something less ambiguous, though. International standard is yyyy-mm-dd.
