I've found a bug doing some calendar scripts. For example 
$blah = getdate(977893200);
echo $blah[mday]; (the unix timestamp is a december 200 ts)
shows only 30 days for december. No wonder I have been getting so many headaches! Yall need to fix this little bug. :)

977893200 is a timestamp for Decemer 27. And as far as I see when using right timestamp it gets right results.

aren't there 31 days in december? when doing the getdate and trying to display 31 days in december, I only get 30 days in december while trying to do the example I tried below instead of getting 31 days.

Your timestamp in your example is for December 26 (PST).
Try this:
    $blah = getdate(978282000);
    echo $blah[mday];
This prints 31 for me.  It will of course depend on your timezone.  To really test it, try this:
    $t = mktime(10,0,0,12,31,2000);
    $blah = getdate($t);
    echo $blah[mday];
This figures out the timestamp for 10 AM Dec.31 in your local timezone and then verifies that getdate() does indeed return 31.
