That's correct, but not all are explicitly required. The function should actually be written as follows: int mktime( [int hour [,int minute [,int second [,int month [,int day [,int year [,int dst]]]]]]] ) And by default, if date() is given a second parameter, but that parameter is null or empty, date() will return `9 December, 2006` (formatted accordingly). I'm not certain of the significance of this, nor am I sure that all versions of PHP will return this same value. I'd have expected Unix epoch time, so 9 December, 2006, could be an easter egg date. Worth reading up on, but nothing I can find so far explains it. ANYONE ELSE KNOW? I'd love to find out! Another thing to note is that, if date() is passed information it doesn't understand in the second parameter, it will return `31 August, 2000` at midnight. Once again, not sure why, but I'd love to hear the reason if anyone else knows. Some other things to note: 1.) While it's a Good Idea[tm] to follow the input structure for mktime() as I listed above, it's actually not required for some dates and formats. However, I wasn't able to narrow-down a good algorithm to prove it, so you should split() or explode() your date when it's received. 2.) HOWEVER.... when passing this information to date(), you have to keep in mind that leading zeros may be interpreted as octal values by date() itself. If you keep getting a SNAFU result, try using a different date() flag to represent the month or day. 3.) Sometimes I don't make much sense.... considering that it's Monday morning, this may be one of those times. -- Daniel P.
