You must be looking into old manual or something since
the example I see on the getdate() manual page has perfect,
working example in it.

PHP manual
getdate
(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

getdate -- Get date/time information
Description

array getdate ([int timestamp])
............

Example 1. getdate() example

$today = getdate();
$month = $today[month];
$mday = $today[mday];
$year = $today[year];
echo "$month $mday, $year";
      
  

---
-> $mday = $today[mday]; 
warnning: Use of undefined constant mday - assumed 'mday'
although a undefined constant will be assumed as a string, it's still a bad usage of this auto conversion.

php manual writers shouldn't make a bad guide for php learners

thx
