I need to be able to return the corresponding dates for Mondays - and
have tried various functions, scripts with varying degrees of success.
date('d-M-Y', strtotime('this monday'));

... works, as does:

date('d-M-Y', strtotime('last monday'));

However, whilst this function works well most of the time, for some
reason it pukes on Monday 19th March - and always returns 18th Mar
(which is a Sunday!).

Spring forward, fall back?

Errmm ... you'll have to explain that one to me <!!!> I'm from the UK
- now in NZ. Is that a US term for some sort of daylight saving thing?

I think you're onto something though - our clocks went back a short
while ago - I'll need to ask when it was (my short-term memory is
*appalling*!!). Wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't the Sunday (18th)
before that dreaded Monday (18/19th).
