PHP Manual (version 13-01-2003)
 
"Warning: mktime() [function.mktime.html]: Windows does not support negative values for this function"
This is not noted in the referenced manual page, in fact examples of how it can be used are given instead.

Presumably Windows users need a test like:
	if (PHP_OS=="WIN32")
		code_your_own_mktime(...);	// when negative values are to be used
	else
		mktime(...);			// Unix is OKAY with negative values

:-) from your friendly code_your_own dept...
