Ok, I'll work with it the way it is.
However, there are two things, maybe in other places too,
which need to be changed. The values in "Example returned
values" for both date("z") and 'yday' in getdate() show
"0-366", these should be changed to "0-365" (as is shown in
the 'man 3 localtime' you gave me to look at). Else there
be 366 days in a normal year, and 367 in a leap year?
I still believe it should be "1-366", but ah well.
Cheers,

I meant localtime, not date:
# man 3 localtime
And look at the tm_yday section.

There is no bug and this is how it works in libc provided date() too.

Yes, I figured the count started from zero, but really it
shouldn't. The 1st of the 1st of any year should be day #
1, not day # 0.
The manuals state that 'yday' in getdate() and 'z' in
date() give "The day of the year". This is not correct if
both are out by one day, and no indication that that is the
case, and no indication that you must add one day to make
them correct.
The proper fix would be to fix the code, but a slacker fix
would be to state in the manuals that you must add a day,
ie., date("z") + 1, to get the correct "day of the year"
number.
Up to you, of course, which you choose to do.
Cheers,

Maybe this clears it for you:
# php -r 'echo date("z", mktime(1,1,1,1,1,2003));'
0
The count starts from 0..

And, IMHO, the example you gave,
echo date("z");
thus also seems to give incorrect results.
