Your Portal Version: 1.0.6
Your phpBB Type: Standard phpBB3
MODs installed: Yes
Your knowledge: Basic Knowledge
Boardlink: http://www.seriejunkies.nl
PHP Version: 3.0.7-PL1
What have you done before the problem was there?
Nothing related to the portal and/or birthdayblock phpcode.
What have you already tryed to solve the problem?
Nothing. Disabled the birthday-block so the error won't show.
Description and Message
Portal shows an error message.
Code: Select all
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /portal/includes/functions.php on line 630: mktime() [function.mktime]: Windows does not support negative values for this function
I think it has to do with a specific date or an invalid date a user filled out for his/her birthday. I didn't change anything on the mod settings and in the previous week it worked correctly.[/i]

Compare this code in in file /portal/includes/functions.php
Code: Select all
function format_birthday($date, $format = false)
{
global $user;
$time->time_now = time();
$lang_dates = $user->lang['datetime'];
$format = (!$format) ? $time->date_format : $format;
// Short representation of month in format
if ((strpos($format, '\M') === false && strpos($format, 'M') !== false) || (strpos($format, '\r') === false && strpos($format, 'r') !== false))
{
$lang_dates['May'] = $lang_dates['May_short'];
}
unset($lang_dates['May_short']);
// We need to create a UNIX timestamp for date()
$day = substr($date, 0, strpos($date, '-'));
$month = substr($date, (strpos($date, '-')+1), 2);
$year = substr($date, -4);
$birthday_time = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);
return strtr(@date(str_replace('|', '', $format), $birthday_time), $lang_dates);
}
and write is different or the same.

It's the same. Is that good or bad?

That's good.
Test if it is error-free in the Forum Index.

It works on the forumindex, no error.
I think on the forumindex only users with their birthday today are shown, while on the portal users who have their birthday this week are shown. So I might get an error on the index later this week (hopefully not ofcourse).

You can enter your birthday on this day.
For a short time.

I know, I tried that and it works.
What I meant was that at the index it only looks at this day. On the portal it shows the whole week. I thought maybe someone has used an invalid date, for a day later this week. For example: 18 jan 2012, which is in the future and it would calculate an age of -1 (a negative value). At the index it would only show on january 18th, but because the portal shows all birthdays of the week, an error might occour.
I'm purely speculating, I don't have any programming skills.

This is caused by your PHP version in combination with your Windows machine. If you want it to work, update your PHP version.
