problem with date() function

[Anon]

I tried this code to get the maximum number of days in a month on Linux Mandrake, php 3
$my_result = date("t",mktime(0,0,0,10,01,2000));
So, $my_result == 30 on linux
And, $my_result == t on FreeBSD

It doesn't work on a FreeBSD 3.6 OS !??? Why the result is the t letter instead of 30, the number of days ???

Thanks for your response, is it a bug or only me !???

i was found it at date() documentation on php.net.. it is a contribution:

[e-mail]
08-Mar-2000 04:05

I had some trouble with the date("t") that was supposed to return the number of days in this current month. But it didn't work with my version of PHP, I had to come up with another solution - here is is (and yes it is seen before on this list!) :

$days_in_month = date("j", mktime(0,0,0,date("n")+1, 1, date("Y"))-1);

---

its ll return the number of days in current month.. but you can do it for any month:

$my_result = date("j",mktime(0,0,0,10+1,1,2000)-1);
you are asking: tell me the real day at 0/11/2000..
its the last day of octouber/2000 = 31.

anyway, try to find in freebsd documentation what could be wrong.. in this case i cant help you.
