Silly Month Problem

jpn

Using the following code:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<?

function getmonth($m=0) {
	return (date(F, mktime(0,0,0,$m)));
}


$m = 1;
echo getmonth($m);

$m = 2;
echo getmonth($m);

$m = 3;
echo getmonth($m);

$m = 4;
echo getmonth($m);

$m = 5;
echo getmonth($m);

$m = 6;
echo getmonth($m);

$m = 7;
echo getmonth($m);

$m = 8;
echo getmonth($m);

$m = 9;
echo getmonth($m);

$m = 10;
echo getmonth($m);

$m = 11;
echo getmonth($m);

$m = 12;
echo getmonth($m);

?>
</body>

It produces January, MARCH, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Any ideas why March is showing instead of February?

Installer

Since you are leaving out the day (fifth argument), it defaults to the current day (30). There are only 29 days in February in the default year (2008, sixth argument), so day 30 would be the 1st of March. Try date('F', mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 1)). (Also notice the quotes around F.)

Oddly enough, it works even without the quotes (despite the manual having these variables in quotes):

for($i=1; $i<13; $i++){
   echo date(F, mktime(0,0,0,$i,1)) . ' ';
}

And it even validates...

It works, but it also generates a notice-level error, and wouldn't work if there were a constant F.

Ah yes.. I guess I'll need to start testing those small problems with:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

In the words of Homer Simpson.. "D'oh!"
