Hi gang:
I am using the getdate(mktime()) functions to get month data (i.e., name of
month, first weekday, last day, number of days).
To get the number of days for a specific month, I use:
// $current_month is the month under question
$next_month = $current_month + 1;
$what_date = getdate(mktime(0, 0, 0, $next_month, 0, $year));
$days_in_current_month = $what_date['mday'];
That works for me!
However, if you read the documentation, namely:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php
It states:
--- quote
day
The number of the day relative to the end of the previous month. Values 1 to
28, 29, 30 or 31 (depending upon the month) reference the normal days in the
relevant month. Values less than 1 (including negative values) reference the
days in the previous month, so 0 is the last day of the previous month, -1 is
the day before that, etc. Values greater than the number of days in the
relevant month reference the appropriate day in the following month(s).
--- un-quote
From my code, the number of days in a month can be found by using 0 as the
first index of the next month -- not the last day of the previous month.
As such, I would re-write the relevant portion of the paragraph to be:
day
The number of the day relative to the end of the previous month. Values 1 to
28, 29, 30 or 31 (depending upon the month) reference the normal days in the
relevant month. Values less than 0 reference the days in the previous month.
For example, -1 is the day before the first day of the relevant month. The
value 0 is the zero index of the next month, which is also equal to the last
day of the relevant month. Values greater than zero are the number of days in
the relevant month reference the appropriate day in the following month(s).
What say you?
Cheers,

Tedd,
This area was always a little grey to me.
I have used -1 to obtain the previous months for some time now.
0 always indicated the beginning index of the current month but the
explanation never seemed to fit the bill.
Having worked extensively in time manipulation in many of the development
projects I have come up with a rule of thumb.
$this_month = date('Y-m-d 00:00:00',mktime(0,0,0,date('m'),1,date('Y')));
$previous_month = date('Y-m-d
00:00:00',mktime(0,0,0,date('m')-1,1,date('Y')));
$next_month = date('Y-m-d 00:00:00',mktime(0,0,0,date('m')+1,1,date('Y')));
To get the days of any given month or just about anything you need to just
use the strtotime
$days_in_month = date('j',strtotime($this_month));

[PHP] cURL and SSL
Hi,
I want to change a SOAP call to curl due to ssl timeout bug of PHP Soap.
My PHP version is PHP 5.2.6-1+lenny13 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2. I'm
using the following SOAP call and it's handling SSL very good:
$client = new SoapClient('https://92.42.55.82:8442', array('trace' =
True, 'local_cert' = 'BehnamCa/newkey.pem'));
But when i want to use cURL and overwrite the __doRequest function using
the following code:
$curl = curl_init($location);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, TRUE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(Content-Type: text/xml));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $this-timeout);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CAPATH, '/home/sasan/CA2/BehnamCa/');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, '/home/sasan/CA2/BehnamCa/newkey.pem');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE, 'PEM');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, '/home/sasan/CA2/BehnamCa/private.key');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, '/home/sasan/CA2/BehnamCa/private.crt');
$response = curl_exec($curl);
I'm receiving the following:
* About to connect() to 92.X.X.X port 8443 (#0)
* Trying 92.X.X.X... * connected
* Connected to 92.X.X.X (92.X.X.X) port 8443 (#0)
* successfully set certificate verify locations:
* CAfile: /home/sasan/CA2/BehnamCa/private.crt
CApath: /home/sasan/CA2/BehnamCa/
* SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate
verify failed
* Closing connection #0
string(146) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK.
Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate
verify failed
As you can see, i'm trying every possible way to tell curl about my
keys, but still no success. Am i doing something wrong or this is a bug?

I fail to follow. Your code is looking ahead to next month (April), then using the 0 day, which means it's getting the last day (31) of the current month (March). There's no such thing as a 0 April, hence anything less than one should count backward. -- /Daniel P.

Re: [PHP] Function mktime() documentation question
Hi, All
To bring a work-around into this discussion I myself would not see it
as a good way to do it like that - even if the documentation provides
some information around that.
Here's what I have done in all new projects I worked with time-calculation:
@Tedd: Lets pick up your first example and work with the
DateTime-Object instead:
$date = new DateTime($year . '-' . $current_month . '-1');
$date-add( new DateInterval( 'P1M' ) ); // Add a period of 1 month to
the date-instance (haven't tried that with the 30th of Jan ... would
be kind-of interesting)
$days_in_current_month = $date-format('j'); // Get the date of the month
As this does not solve the problem (as we still should update the
documentation or the code if it does not match) it's not a solution,
but a suggestion to coding-style at all.
It seems a bit cleaner to me as you don't have to worry about the 13th
month, time-zones or other things that can be difficult to calculate
yourself.
Bye
Simon
2012/3/8 shiplu shiplu@gmail.com:
To get the number of days for a specific month, I use:
// $current_month is the month under question
$next_month = $current_month + 1;
I use this
$next_month = $current_month + 1;
$next_month_1 = mktime(0, 0, 0, $next_month, 1, date(Y) );
$current_month_1= mktime(0, 0, 0, $current_month, 1, date(Y) );
$mdays = ($current_month_1 - $next_month_1)/(3600*24);
It's much more easier if you use DateTime and DateInterval class
