10-year intermittent problem: Invoices displayed on my website are assigned a unique 7-digit order number generated by PHP's date function $invoice_number = date("njis"); // creates, for example, invoice number "7223060" Roughly 10% of the time, no order number is displayed! That means, for whatever reason, from time to time, php's date function decides NOT to create a date. Over the past 10 years, I have been on different servers, at different hosts, with, obviously, different PHP versions. Is this one of those things, like, a "well-known-issue" about PHP's date function? Or what? I have even had to code built-in "backup-plan fail-safes" like: $invoice_number = date("njis"); if (strlen($invoice_number) < 4) { $invoice_number = date("njis").rand(11111,99999); // mail(webmaster notice); } What are your thoughts? Thank you!!
