Some more info.

I made my birthday: july 15 1978. Here is the mktime data that goes into the DB.

$bday = mktime(0, 0, 0, 7, 15, 1978);
$bday becomes: 269323200

Before DB INSERT
269323200 <-- mktime version of: 7 15 1978

I check the DB to make sure it has the same data and it does.

DB
269323200 <--- Same as above

I then log off, and back on to pull the data out and make sure the data hasn't changed, and it has not.

OUT
269323200 <--- Same consistent data.

But when I use the date() function, it shows: 7 14 1978

$date = date("n j, Y ",$bday);


CRAZY!!!!

WHY!!!??
