why does 'today' return extra minutes on the end of a date
<p>I need to get the first and last second of a given day in php. when I use this:</p>

<pre><code>$date2 = strToTime('today');
echo Date('Y-m-d h:m:s', $date2) . "&lt;/br&gt;";
</code></pre>

<p>I get <code>2013-03-24 12:03:00</code>.
but why the 3 extra minutes? It should say <code>12:00:00</code>. I need a solution that can work every single time even in weird leap year scenarios because this code will initiate payments.</p>
