int mktime ( [int hour [, int minute [, int second [, int month [, int day [, int year [, int is_dst]]]]]]] )
Warning: Note the strange order of
arguments, which differs from the order of arguments in a regular
Unix mktime() call and which does not lend itself well to leaving
out parameters from right to left (see below). It is a common
error to mix these values up in a script.
Returns the Unix timestamp corresponding to the arguments
given. This timestamp is a long integer containing the number of
seconds between the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT) and the time
specified.
Arguments may be left out in order from right to left; any
arguments thus omitted will be set to the current value according
to the local date and time.
is_dst can be set to 1 if the time is
during daylight savings time (DST), 0 if it is not, or -1 (the default)
if it is unknown whether the time is within daylight savings time
or not. If it's unknown, PHP tries to figure it out itself. This can
cause unexpected (but not incorrect) results.
Some times are invalid if DST is enabled on the system PHP is running on
or is_dst is set to 1. If DST is enabled in e.g.
2:00, all times between 2:00 and 3:00 are invalid and
mktime() returns an undefined (usually negative) value.
Some systems (e.g. Solaris 8) enable DST at midnight so time 0:30
of the day when DST is enabled is evaluated as 23:30 of the previous day.
Note: is_dst was added in 3.0.10.
mktime() is useful for doing date arithmetic
and validation, as it will automatically calculate the correct
value for out-of-range input. For example, each of the following
lines produces the string "Jan-01-1998".
Year may be a two or four digit value,
with values between 0-69 mapping to 2000-2069 and 70-99 to
1970-1999 (on systems where time_t is a 32bit signed integer, as
most common today, the valid range for
year is somewhere between 1901 and 2038).
Windows:
Negative timestamps are not supported under any known version
of Windows. Therefore the range of valid years includes only 1970
through 2038.
The last day of any given month can be expressed as the "0" day
of the next month, not the -1 day. Both of the following examples
will produce the string "The last day in Feb 2000 is: 29".
Example 2. Last day of next month
<?php $lastday = mktime(0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 2000); echo strftime("Last day in Feb 2000 is: %d", $lastday);
$lastday = mktime(0, 0, 0, 4, -31, 2000); echo strftime("Last day in Feb 2000 is: %d", $lastday); ?>
Date with year, month and day equal to zero is considered illegal
(otherwise it what be regarded as 30.11.1999, which would be strange
behavior).
