RE: [PHP-INSTALL] December 31, 2004

I apologize. Lousy coding there....

I now realise that I need to convert the dates with mktime before I compare them...

Doh!!

Hi Folks,

I'm experiencing a strange issue with dates for December 31, 2004.

Here's the script:

<?php
$startdate="12/30/2004";
$enddate="12/30/2004";
$dates=array();
$orig=$startdate;
do {
        array_push($dates,$startdate);
        $startdate=date("m/d/Y",strtotime("+1 day",mktime(0,0,0,substr($startdate,0,2),substr($startdate,3,2),substr($startdate,6,4))));
} while($startdate<=$enddate);
                                                                                                                                                             
print_r($dates);

?>

If I use the start and end dates as above, everything's great - the $dates array holds one value, "12/30/2004". But if I change both the start and end date to "12/31/2004" everything goes awry - I now get an array holding values from "12/31/2004" to "12/30/2005" - 364 in total!?!?! Any suggestions. Why is "12/31/2004" such a problem? 

Thanks, Tom
