Re: [PHP] Strtotime returns 02/09/2008 for "next Saturday"....

Ya - the other server is 4.4.7

However - this does not seem to be the problem necessarily:

print date("m/d/Y",strtotime("next saturday"));
02/09/2008

print date("m/d/Y",strtotime("next sunday"));
02/10/2008

print date("m/d/Y",strtotime("next monday"));
02/11/2008

print date("m/d/Y",strtotime("next tuesday"));
02/12/2008

print date("m/d/Y",strtotime("next wednesday"));
02/13/2008

print date("m/d/Y",strtotime("next thursday"));
02/07/2008

So from today to next Thursday, the dates are all 1 week off....?

I have been using:

$nextSaturday= date("m/d/Y",strtotime("next saturday"));

For months long time now with out problems, but in the last two days, it
went kind of funky. It is now returning:

02/09/2008 instead of the expected 02/02/2008. I have tried the same code
on another server and different version of PHP,and it works ok.

More info:

Shell date: Thu Jan 31 09:44:50 EST 2008
echo date("Y-m-d g:i A T", time()); = 2008-01-31 10:00 AM EST
echo date("Y-m-d g:i A T", strtotime("next saturday")); = 2008-02-09 12:00
AM EST

version: 4.3.9 (highest version we can have at the moment)

I could not find this in the known bugs from this version....

So - is this something that is server or version specific?

TIA!

The manual says:
*Warning*

In PHP versions prior to 4.4.0, *"next"* is incorrectly computed as +2. A
typical solution to this is to use *"+1"*.

Dunno if that helps you out? Is the other server > 4.4.0?
