Bug? Or am I too stupid? Modules does not work on the 8th and 9th

The module works fine. I set it to MM_DAY_OF_MONTH - and really every day of month it shows another module -

Only on the 8th and on the 9th of any month its refusing cooperation - nothing shows up.

I really dont know how to solve this problem...

Re: Bug? Or am I too stupid? Modules does not work on the 8th and 9th

I think I can have a guess at this...

When you compare the MM_DAY_OF_MONTH to a number, you must NOT use the leading 0. PHP interprets any numbers with a leading 0 as octal (base 8) numbers.

That's fine for 00 to 07 which are the same number in decimal. But 08 and 09 don't exist in octal, so PHP treats them as being 0. From 10 and up you are fine again as there's no leading 0 and PHP treats them as normal base 10.

So you're not stupid - I remember when I first noticed this behaviour too as it was a surprise to me.

Just use something like:

if (MM_DAY_OF_MONTH == 8) .....

... instead of 08.

Cheers,
Stephen
