[PHP] Most bizarre date problem ever

Check this out: I'm returning a list of the last 30 days, looping through i, subtracting it from $end_date where $end_date is 2004-04-10 00:00:00. I'm just trying to derive a timestamp $check_date for each iteration, like 1081321200. Here's the code within the loop: $check_date = mktime(0, 0, 0
