I run Horde Groupware Webmail Edition 1.2.7 on my own server (PHP  
version 5.1.6). Simple installation, no tweaks! I use "Funambol  
Outlook Sync Client 8.7.2" to connect my Outlook client to horde.

When I add a birthday in Outlook (which is a yearly recurrent event)  
and I synch this trough "rpc.php", then it appears in de calendar of  
Horde. Now when I synch the calendatevent on Horde to another PC (with  
an 'empty' Outlook). the birthday isn't synched back! Logfile of  
Funambol:

Sync completed - WARNING: some items have not been inserted on Outlook.
Last error = "Error setting properties of appointment item "xxxxxx's  
Birthday". Item not saved." (code 105)

In the apache log I see the following errors:

PHP Warning:  date() expects parameter 2 to be long, array given in  
/var/www/html/horde/lib/SyncML/Device/Sync4j.php on line 1028
PHP Warning:  date() expects parameter 2 to be long, array given in  
/var/www/html/horde/lib/SyncML/Device/Sync4j.php on line 1030

I checked out the Horde code and found the following codelines:

line 1028 => $hash['DayOfMonth'] = date('j', $start);
line 1030 => $hash['MonthOfYear'] = date('n', $start);

I have debugged the value of '$start' while syncing again with the  
other PC. It appears that '$start' is an array like the one below:

array('mday' => '21', 'year' => '1976', 'month' => '05')

The date function doesn't accept this as value, therefore synching  
recurrent yearly events fails... I've tested with daily, weekly and  
monthly recurrent events, but that works just fine!

If this issue is not reproducable, I can provide with more info if necessary.

PS: this ticket is created along ticket #8884 (Recurrent "All day"  
Event's dont sync with Funambol).
