Consider running this code at the stroke of midnight on Monday/Tuesday
next week.

<?
/* Today is Monday 30 April 2007 */
echo date("d",time());
/* It's midnight now. Clocks go 23:59:59 => 00:00:00. */
/* Today is Tuesday 1 May 2007 */
echo date("m",time());
echo date("Y",time());
?>

Outputs: 30052007

The other code you posted:

> echo date("d",$time);

Doesn't suffer from that problem. It's also probably faster, but unless
you're doing it thousands of times in a loop, you won't notice any
difference.
