<?php
// As September has 30 days $x, $y & $z should all be
// 30 ... instead the result is always 31
// Unfortunately cal_days_in_month is not supported on the
// target server (php 4.1.2) even though though the
// documentation says it is

$x = date('t', '1 Sep 2002');
$y = date('t', 'Sep');
$z = date('t', '2002-09-01');

The second argument of date() should be an integer timestamp, not a string. You can use e.g. mktime() or strtotime() to get such a timestamp:

# php -r 'echo date("t", mktime(0,0,0,9,1,2002)),"\n";'

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

right, not a bug -> bogus
