That's what I'm talking about. Those functions like javascript's
getMonth() return an int that is one less than the month number. My
assumption is that people who defined the language made it this way so
that you can write code that uses non-associative, zero-based arrays
to decode the month number to a string:
var month_names['en'] = new Array('January', 'February', 'March',
'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October',
'November', 'December');
var myDate = new Date();
var x = month_names['en'][myDate.getMonth()];
If getMonth() wasn't zero-based, you'd either have to include an empty
element in the 0th position of at the beginning of the array, use an
associative array, or that last line would have to be changed:
var x = month_name['en'][myDate.getMonth() - 1]'

In that sense, I can see the reasoning of why months and days of the week work that way (even though I think it's counter-intuitive and subtraction is a pretty simple operation). I don't understand why the day of the month or of the year would be zero-based, though.

Re: [PHP] Date Issue
If you want the DAY before, you can use the -1 for the day, and get
what you want.
mktime() will "wrap" the month as needed.
But, yeah, if you try to hit a MONTH before by putting in a month
before AND the day, it will "slingshot" back and forth to get what you
don't want.
If you want the MONTH before, I *suspect* you can use date('m') for
the argument, and do NOT provide a day, and it may do what you want.
But for sure, if you use ONE (1) for the day, and then -1 for the
month it will do what you want, since every month has a ONE (1) day.
Anything 1 from 28 will work fine, actually, but using 1 is probably
clearest:
$today = mktime();
$tomorrow = mktime(1, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d') + 1);
$next_month = mktime(1, 0, 0, date('m') + 1, 1);
$last_month = mktime(1, 0, 0, date('m') - 1, 1);
I've been using these for a web calendar since nineteen-ninety-mumble,
and they've worked fine, through leap years.
You can view the source to the PDF version here:
http://uncommonground.com/events.phps
The HTML version has the exact same stuff at the top.
http://uncommonground.com/events.htm
Feel free to page through as many months/years past/present and future
to see that it works.
Since it's a 32-bit machine, it does conk out in March 2038.
I'm fairly confident our web-server will be a 64-bit machine before we

You can ignore my test events in January 2038 :-)

Re: [PHP] Date Issue
Your doing the same thing i did look at date(d)
When its the 31 like yesteday of course it can not find the 31 of months that
do not have them.
Thats why it errored.
String worked up till monday which explained alot. I just did not look at what
i was doing. changed the code to
$zomonth = date("F", mktime(0,0,0, date("m")-1, 1, date('Y')));
works perfect
thanks to dan who pointed out the lack of sleep in me :)
I generally use 1 hour after midnight with mktime() to avoid the edge
cases of daylight savings etc...
mktime(1, 0, 0, date('m') - 1, date('d'), date('Y'));
You also have to consider that you *COULD* call this right on the cusp
of midnight, and the call to date('d') could happen one day, and the
call to mktime( ) the next "day" as the clock ticked over...
At 1 am, the day doesn't change over...
Larry's probably right that you should use DateTime, but it's too
new-fangled for an old fart like me to have got around to messing with
it yet...

Just to clarify -- Richard's response fixes a poor coding practice in
your original post, but it does not "fix" the problem that you

That's because you're using today's date('d');, which is 31.
February doesn't have 31 days, nor does April, so mktime() forces
them to the following month to correct the error.

Like I said, mktime makes corrections for otherwise invalid dates. Today is March 31. Moving the month number back by one (-1) creates a timestamp for February 31, which gets corrected to become March 2 (March 3 in non-leap years). Moving the month number ahead by one (+1) creates a timestamp for April 31 gets corrected to become May 1.

Well, to re-iterate what Andrew said, you're on the 31st day of the month.
Feb 31st translates to March, April 31st translates to May.

That's because you're using today's date('d');, which is 31.
February doesn't have 31 days, nor does April, so mktime() forces
them to the following month to correct the error.

Re: [PHP] Date Issue
I tried that a big no go.
Seems if I do a +1 i get 2 months from now and a -1 gives me the current month.
$month = date("F", mktime(0,0,0, date('m'), date('d'), date('Y')));
$zomonth = date("F", mktime(0,0,0, date("m")-1, date("d"), date("Y")));
$nmonth = date("F", mktime(0,0,0, date(m)+1, date(d), date("Y")));
$month echo's MARCH should be Feb
$zomonth echo's MARCH should be March
$nmonth echo's MAY this should be April
You will notice i used all options apostrophes double quotes and no quotes
exactly the same output.
You need apostrophes (or quotes) around your args to date() in the
parameters...
date('m')
As it stands now, PHP assumes you mean the constant m
(http://php.net/define) and that's not defined, so they are all 0.
So you are passing in 0 to ALL the args.
You also should use E_ALL for your error_reporting so you would SEE
the error messages telling you about this.

mktime "will automatically calculate the correct value for out-of-range input."
The "31st day of February in 2008" is March 2nd, so both dates are in March.

[PHP] Date Issue
Not understanding why this is happening.
$month = date("F", mktime(0,0,0, date(m), date(d), date(Y)));
$zomonth = date("F", mktime(0,0,0, date(m)-1, date(d), date(Y)));
echoing out the exact same month
March
March
Checked server timezone/date/time all is good. Am I half asleep at the wheel on
this one and just not seeing my mistake here?
