date / timestamp

[postbil.com]

I have a little problem with creating a timestamp and display it again with date ()

Here is a small shript:

<?php

$day = 6;

$month = 7;

$year = 1985;

$ts = mktime($month, $day, $year);

echo date("d-m-Y",$ts);

?>

 

In my world would result in 6-7-1985

but instead I get 06-11-2010

 

Why .. what am I doing wrong?

could you use

 echo $day."-".$month."-".$year; 

[litebearer]

or...

 

<?php
   $day = 6;
   $month = 7;
   $year = 1985;
   $ts = strtotime($month . "/" . $day . "/" . $year);
   echo date("d-m-Y",$ts);
?>

see the manual for mktime():

 

int mktime ([ int $hour = date("H") [, int $minute = date("i") [, int $second = date("s") [, int $month = date("n") [, int $day = date("j") [, int $year = date("Y") [, int $is_dst = -1 ]]]]]]] )

 

The parameters are (in order): hour, minute, second, month, day, year
