mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d'), date('y'));

I have some code from a developer who I do not know very well. What the code is doing is getting the current date. The problem is that now I need to backdate $today so that $today is for December, 09 2010. I am really not sure at all how I would accomplish something like that and maintain the same format that the program needs to function. I always get great help out here! Thanks.

$today = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d'), date('y'));//For some reason it is giving the day as tomorrow so we need to subtract a day;$today = $today;$date_begin = $today - (36 * $tz_offset);$date_end = $date_begin + 86400;

$today = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d'), date('y'));

It will return the timestamp of when the day starts. I am not sure how it will return the next day.

Yes. That is exactly what I am trying to do. I need to backdate the program so that it thinks today is December, 09 2010.

It will be something like..

mktime(0,0,0,12,9,2010);

date('m'),date('y'),date('d') will respectively evaluate today's month,year,day. so if you need to any other dat time or year you need to pass that value into that parameters.
