Hello again,
  As an update to my situation, I have gotten the Time Entry FORM to come up 
by changing the following lines in the getDateOb() function in Form.php:
....
        /* Return the PEAR date object. */
        return $d = &new Date(null);  /* CHANGED FROM Date($date_in) */
    }
....

And the following lines from Date() in Date.php:
    function Date($date)
    {
        $this->tz = Date_TimeZone::getDefault();
        if (is_null($date)) {
            $this->setDate(date("Y-m-d H:i:s"));
        } elseif (is_a($date, 'Date')) {
            $this->copy($date);
        } else {
            $this->date = setDate($date,"DATE_FORMAT_ISO"); /* CHANGED FROM 
setDate($date); */
        }
    }

And this got the Time Entry form to Come up. But when I try and enter a time 
for a specified Job Type, I get the same:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: setdate() in 
/usr/local/lib/php/Date.php on line 137

So it appears I need to find another instance of setDate() being called 
indirectly from something that entry.php is referencing. But rather than 
trace setDate() to every indirect reference it has, I thought somenoe might 
be able to help out a bit. Jan, is there anything you can tell me about this? 
It looks like setDate() is just being called with the wrong parameters for 
some reason. If I could find every instance of it I would gladly patch it up 
and offer the patches for people who are having this same problem. But just a 
*little* help? Pretty please?
