New Comment:
Guess it worked last week only due to the daylight saving switch which
compensated an off-by-one error in your code.
*Every* piece of code that uses mktime(0,0,0,...) and
addition or subtraction of multiples of 86400 has to
check for daylight saving time switches or use the optional 7th
parameter to mktime() to be correct
this database is full of user bugs related to this issue

No, just trying to get a consistently working numeric date for the
Sunday of that week. yymmdd
Though a previos algorithm I had:
echo "last sunday: ".date("ymd",
mktime(0,0,0,$mnth,$dy-date("w",mktime(0,0,0,$mnth,$dy,$yr)),$yr))."<br
is working this week properly, but has in the past worked inproperly..
there is something really goofy going on with the date math in php.
Anyone have a ultra reliable Sunday of the Week algorithm?

daylight saving time?!
use mktime(12,0,0,...) if you are interested in the date only

#get the numeric sunday
$today_var = getdate();
$today_sec =
mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));
$offset = $today_var[wday] * 86400 ;
$first_day = $today_sec - $offset;
$this_week_first_date = date("ymd", $first_day);
$path=$this_week_first_date;
this just won't get me Sunday this week.. 020407
suddenly at midnight on Monday the 8th it went to 06, this has been
running fine for many many weeks now.
Help
