10 is correct..
yeah i thought it was irish , when i came across it as well...but..
localtime EXPR
Converts a time as returned by the time function
to a 9-element array with the time analyzed for
the local timezone. Typically used as follows:
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) =
localtime(time);
All array elements are numeric, and come straight
out of a struct tm. In particular this means that
$mon has the range 0..11 and $wday has the range
^^^^^
0..6. If EXPR is omitted, does localtime(time).
