Your mistake is that you regard $start_day as number. In
most cases it's OK, but ++ acts differently on strings. So
use $itchy = $start_day+0 or any other mean to make $itchy
explicitly numeric.

Hi,
I tried to do something which was not really weird, but the the output astounded me. I
tried to get opinions of two of my friends on this, but they didn't really help. I
feel really stupid, because this looks much more like one of my programming errors
then a bug.
I tried to execute this script:
<?
echo "<H1>Start Day = $start_day,View_Days=$view_days</H1>";
for ($itchy = $start_day; $itchy <= ($start_day+$view_days);$itchy++) {
$this_mktime=mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d")+$itchy,date("Y"));
echo date("D j M",$this_mktime)."<BR>n";
}
?>
I saved it in a file called test.php and called it from a website. like this:
www.yoursite/test.php?start_day=4&view_days=10
The output was, as expected:
Start Day = 4, View_Days= 10
Sun 1 Apr
Mon 2 Apr
Tue 3 Apr
Wed 4 Apr
Thu 5 Apr
Fri 6 Apr
Sat 7 Apr
Sun 8 Apr
Mon 9 Apr
Tue 10 Apr
Wed 11 Apr
(Ok, it shows 11 days, but what the heck).
Now, I tried to do this with some date in the past:
www.yoursite/test.php?start_day=-2&view_days=10
The output is an endless loop with starts with this:
Start Day = -2, View_Days= 10

Like I said, i feel really stupid now. What am I overlooking ?
Much regards, keep up the good work,
Ace Suares
