gmmktime Error in WordPress and MagpieRSS
If you’re running PHP 5.1 with your web server, you may encounter the following error in your Apache web server error log file (i.e. httpd-error.log) whenever there are requests to the RSS feed and the Apache need to parse the RSS in PHP:
For Magpie RSS:
PHP Warning: gmmktime() expects parameter 3 to be long, string given in …../magpie/rss_utils.inc on line 35
For WordPress 2:
PHP Warning: gmmktime() expects parameter 3 to be long, string given in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/wordpress-mydigitallife/wp-includes/rss-functions.php on line 788
The error usually only occurs if you are using or upgrading to PHP 5.1.
The resolution is to edit rss_utils.inc in MagpieRSS or rss-functions.php in WordPress and changes the line below:
$epoch = gmmktime( $hours, $minutes, $seconds, $month, $day, $year);
to the following line by adding +0 after the third variables ($seconds):
$epoch = gmmktime( $hours, $minutes, $seconds+0, $month, $day, $year);

This is another way which will work if any of the other paramaters given are strings which helps to future proof against any further unknowns. It forces all of the paramaters to integers.
$epoch = gmmktime((int)$hours, (int)$minutes, (int)$seconds, (int)$month, (int)$day, (int)$year);
