It is adjusting for your 8 hour differences. Your server is -8 from GMT. So when you set it to '+ 1 month GMT' it will set the date to one month from the given date, but in GMT time. So to convert back from GMT time to your time, it needs to minus the 8 hours, and you get 4 PM the day before. -- Rob -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
