Description:
------------
The documentation for the date() function states that the format character 'z' will produce a value in the range 0 to 365.

Technically, this is incorrect -- since the format character 'z' is the day of the year starting from 0, the maximum value it can have is 364, not 365.

Leap years have 366 days, so 0-365 is correct.

You're forgetting leap years where it can have 365 days, hence the range 0 to 365.

Ah... yes... leap years. Sorry about that.
