Have you verified that gmmktime() works on your system? We've seen
problems with gmmktime() before... It's important that the server
knows its timezone otherwise gmmktime() doesn't work.

See if gmmktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1970) gives you 0 and if mktime(0, 0,
0, 1, 1, 1970) gives you the number of seconds your server is offset
from UTC time. I'm in Denmark where we're one hour infront of UTC, so
I got -3600 from the call to mktime().

PS. Since you're running PHP 4, you should use version 2.0.0 of PHP
Weather instead of 1.6x. It wont help you with the time-problem,
though.
