non well formed numeric value encountered

smarter

Anything wrong with this code? I got the same error "A non well formed numeric value encountered "

$daysInMonth = date("t", mktime(1, 1, 1, $month, $day, $year));

and

$date = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);

MOD EDIT: Threads split; original thread was: [RESOLVED] Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered.

What values do the variables $month, $day, and $year contain?

$month and $year are read from an external file.
No date is read from the external file.

$daysInMonth simply wants to get how many days in a month.
$date just want to echo back the month & year as follows:

$date = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);

echo date("F Y", $date);

Okay, but have you actually used something like [man]var_dump/man to verify the exact contents of those variables?

I mean no $day is read from the external file.

let's assume that I want to find first day of each month, that is 1.
So $day = 1

How do u implement that into the code above?

You'd write 1 instead of $day.

that was what i did, but I got that error of "Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered ". Tried to use strtotime, didn't work out either.

Okay; so what you do now is go back and follow bradgrafelman's advice.

In other words, you still haven't answered my question:
