I' ve just spent several wasted hours looking for a blindingly obvious problem. Checkdate takes it's params in a very illogical way ie
checkdate ( int month, int day, int year)
Surely it should be 
checkdate ( int day, int month, int year)
or even
checkdate ( int year, int month, int day)
why on earth month day year ?

Nobody said Americans are logical people :).

But there's no way this can be changed and not break a lot of scripts in the real world. Just get used to it.
