getdate() always returning 0 for the day?

Alright, I am trying to get the day of the week that the month started on so I can produce a PHP-based calendar for a site I am developing. For some reason however, "getdate()" is always forcing "wday" to zero. It's driving me insane because after hours of searching, I have come across several other calendars that use the exact same code that I use and they work. I don't get why this is happening, could somebody explain this, or is it another PHP anomaly?

$CurMonth = (date("n") - 1);
$CurYear = date("Y");
$Timestamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, $CurMonth, 1, $CurYear);
$MaxDay = date("t", $Timestamp);
$ThisMonth = getdate($Timestamp);
$StartDay = $ThisMonth['wday'];

Thanks for any help offered.

*EDIT*

I figured it out. Apparently the "mktime()" function in PHP doesn't adhere to regular coding practices, and the month range is 1-12, not 0-11. I modified the code as shown below and it works properly now.

$Timestamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, ($CurMonth + 1), 1, $CurYear);

Use the Window procedure that is part of the CRT unit. You should be able to create a separate window for each month, each 25 columns wide and 6 rows high. The problem should then reduce to one of writing one calendar routine which could then be repeated in each window.

I firmly believe there's such a property which enables you to set the default month in the Calendar control...
