  $lastday=mktime(0,0,0,3,-1,2000);
  echo strftime("Last day in februari 2000 is : %d<br>",$lastday);

This short script displays '28' on my system. Februari 2000 has 29 days however. I'm not sure where this bug comes from, 'cal' displays februari 2000 correctly with 29 days.

I've observed the same problem with PHP 3.0.5 on solaris 2.6
