If you are using microtime, and you are not using the new-fangled extra arg to get the value as "seconds.microseconds" instead of ".microseconds seconds" then you aren't accounting for the seconds part, only the .microseconds part. Very common beginner mistake. And you're not actually using a Unix timestamp, but a Unix micro-timestamp, I guess... http://php.net/microtime/ If you are NOT using microtime, please DO tell us what you are cramming into $job[] so we can help you. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
