Description:
------------
There is a bug in mktime, where omission of the day parameter causes some issues.

Most notably, when attempting to iterate through months. See the reproduction code for a better explanation.

Reproduce code:
---------------
// Bugged code. Produces "Mar" twice.
for($i=1; $i<13; $i++) echo date('M', mktime(0, 0, 0, $i))."\n";

// Working code. Produces intuitive output.
for($i=1; $i<13; $i++) echo date('M', mktime(0, 0, 0, $i, 0))."\n";

Expected result:
----------------

Actual result:

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
