You really can't throw strtotime just anything and expect it to work. Notice the words 'try' and 'about any' in the manual for this function.. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-06 12:52:02] tnelson at wticorp dot com Description: ------------ The day of week modifier when used with a "real" date does not advance to that day of the week. I expected that the "explicit mention of a day of the week will forward the date (only if necessary) to reach that day of the week in the future." The source of this expectation (aside from the fact that "next friday" worked when I tried it) is the "Day of Week Item" section in the GNU manual page referenced from the strtotime function documentation. http://www.gnu.org/manual/tar-1.12/html_chapter/tar_7.html "next week friday" works as expected "+3 weeks friday" works as expected "dec 25 friday" does not work as expected. Instead it returns Thursday December 25, 2003 "dec 25 +1 week friday" also does not work as expected. Instead it returns Thursday January 1, 2004 Reproduce code: --------------- echo date("l F j, Y ", strtotime("dec 25 friday"); Expected result: ---------------- Expected Friday December 26, 2003 Actual result: -------------- produces... Thursday December 25, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26154&edit=1
