Description:
------------
Question ...
Why does this return an error with PHP5, but not with PHP4:

# PHP Warning [PHP]:: mktime() expects parameter 3 to be long, string given in file /home/web20con/public_html/netoffice/includes/library.php line 931

In this code: (as referenced in the error msg above)

function createDate($storedDate, $gmtUser)
{
    global $gmtTimezone;

    if ($gmtTimezone == 'true') {
        if ($storedDate != '') {
            $extractHour = substr($storedDate, 11, 2);
            $extractMinute = substr($storedDate, 14, 2);
            $extractYear = substr($storedDate, 0, 4);
            $extractMonth = substr($storedDate, 5, 2);
            $extractDay = substr($storedDate, 8, 2);

           return(date("Y-m-d H:i", mktime($extractHour + $gmtUser, $extractMinute, '', $extractMonth, $extractDay, $extractYear)));
          
        }
    } else {
        return($storedDate);
    }
}

Because PHP 5 is more strict about it. This is not a bug.
