Number of days since 1/1/2000

My solution does not handle DST

[veggie lover]

I am using the following code which gives an incorrect answer at midnight to 1 AM due to the time moving ahead one hour from daylight savings time:

function get_current_day() {

$then = mktime ( 0 , 0, 0, 1,1,'00');
$now = time();

$days = ($now - $then ) / 86400 - 1;

return (int) $days;

} // end function

perhaps date_offset_get [php.net] would be useful...
