I've found an error when I ask the day of the year with
date("z") and gmdate("z")

The 1.Januar should be the number 1 but this function return number 0.

You can check it running this:

<?
for ($i=1; $i<=366; $i++){
echo date("d.m.Y  z",mktime(0,0,0,1,$i,2000));
echo "<br>";
}
?>

Please inform me if is not an error.

this behaves like the c function mktime() it is built upon
and is documented as such:

see http://php.net/manual/function.date.php:
   z - day of the year; i.e. "0" to "365" 

where a normal year has [0..364] and a leap year [0..366]

status select somewhere near the
commit button ? ...
