Good point ;)up
Except that generally, when am told "next Saturday" - I take that to mean
"the next Saturday" - just one more ambiguity in the english language that
makes it so hard to learn I suppose!
The odd thing about this whole situation it that it seems to have cropped
just after we "upgraded" to 4.3.9 - prior to that, "next Saturday" workedbut
just peachy. I wish I knew which version we were running before that -
that record was not kept.server
I guess we are stuck with this, what maybe is a problem with this version,
until the Redhat RPM gets higher than 4.3.9 - since that is what our
manager uses for updates....correct
I could always adjust it to be:
date("m/d/Y",strtotime("+ ".(6-date("w"))." days"));
That should always return the next Saturday of the week, and if I am
in my thinking, then even on the Saturday, 6-6 = 0 - which would returnthat
day... Which does, at least for my application of it, work.maybe
I am not sure how the bug that "next" = +2 rather than +1 applys here,
it is just not understanding how exactly the "next whatever" syntax is
applied....

Maybe it's just me, but I've never quite figured out what people mean
when they say "next Saturday"...
Do they mean the next one coming up?
Or do they mean that there's "this Saturday" coming up and "next
Saturday" the one after that?
And if I can't figure it out, why would you expect PHP to figure it out?

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....?

The manual says:
I have been using:

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!

*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?
