PHP Date Function

Ok, I cannot fathom this at all. In PHP the date function works with months starting from 1 according to PHP.net.

Now when I do this:

Code:

$originalMonth = date("F", mktime(0,0,0,6,0,2011,0));
echo("<a href=''>".$originalMonth." (".$row['postCount'].")</a><br />");

I get:

Code:

 May (0)

Any ideas, or could someone check this for me to see if it is my setup that's borked.

Cheers!

Code:

$originalMonth = date("F", mktime(0,0,0,6,1,2011,0));
echo("<a href=''>".$originalMonth." (".$row['postCount'].")</a><br />");

Try that, you have mktime(0,0,0,6,0,2011,0));

That fixed it, makes sense that the days start from 1 also, funny the things you overlook eh.

Thanks for the help!
