#41873 [Asn->Bgs]: strtotime produces incorrect output

ID: 41873 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: kevin at creativeanvil dot com -Status: Assigned +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: RHEL 4 PHP Version: 5.2.3 Assigned To: derick New Comment: There is no bug here. If you use "2007-11-30 last friday" you get of course the previous friday, which is 2007-11-23.

Again this seems to happen when the last day of the month is the last Friday that we're looking for, then it returns the previous Friday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-04 11:23:18] tony2001@php.net So how to reproduce it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-03 19:30:53] kevin at creativeanvil dot com Yes, most of the time it is correct, but I've found if the day wanted is the last day of the month, it may not work correctly. Friday was an example, it probably has nothing to do with Friday specifically, that's just what I tested and found the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-03 06:44:47] tony2001@php.net Works perfectly fine here: 10/26/2007 07/27/2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
