New record. I submitted a story (the traffic one) to a market and got it rejected in three hours. Any faster and I would have thought I was in some kind of time warp.
Oh well.
In related news, I'm having problems with the 'mktime' function in PHP, because it only returns today's date or the beginning of the epoch (Jan 31, 1969). It would be nice if it computed dates for data that I gave it, because then I could clear out the markets that are closed until such-and-such a date from my market suggestion lists.
At first I thought it might be a problem in my markets array, and I tried tweaking the closure date with the 'trim' and 'settype' functions to make sure that I was passing a correctly formatted data point to the 'mktime' functions.
It's one of those finesse things -- I can just keep track of when a market will open up manually. But it would be nice to have the software have markets pop up only when they're accepting manuscripts.
Uhhg... the iPod has just recycled for about the fifth time, and I'm carefully not looking at what time it is. If only I could time warp my sleep...
