title: How to get time() like value from mktime()
body: <p>I have the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$value = '2012-03-05';
  $parts = explode('-',$value);
  $value = mktime(0,0,0,$parts[1],$parts[0],$parts[2]);
  
  // output of $value is 2012
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Shouldn't <code>mktime()</code> return output similar to <code>time()</code>?</p>
  
  <p>What is wrong with my code?</p>
