Date Issue

Not understanding why this is happening.

$month = date("F", mktime(0,0,0, date(m), date(d), date(Y)));
$zomonth = date("F", mktime(0,0,0, date(m)-1, date(d), date(Y)));

echoing out the exact same month
March
March

Checked server timezone/date/time all is good. Am I half asleep at the wheel on this one and just not seeing my mistake here?

mktime "will automatically calculate the correct value for out-of-range input."

The "31st day of February in 2008" is March 2nd, so both dates are in March.

You need apostrophes (or quotes) around your args to date() in the
parameters...

date('m')

As it stands now, PHP assumes you mean the constant m
(http://php.net/define) and that's not defined, so they are all 0.

So you are passing in 0 to ALL the args.

You also should use E_ALL for your error_reporting so you would SEE
the error messages telling you about this.
