ID: 48699 User updated by: mehdi dot rande at gmail dot com Reported By: mehdi dot rande at gmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.10 New Comment: I've triple checked the doc, it seems to make reference to the gnu input date format. gnu date command behave like this : $ date --version date (GNU coreutils) 7.4 $ date Mon Jun 29 14:05:30 CEST 2009 $ date -s "1 monday" +%F 2009-07-06 $ date -s "next monday" +%F 2009-07-06 But it's true that this bug is a duplicate of #46932 wich still open, so sorry for the noise.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-26 10:48:33] mehdi dot rande at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Since php 5.2.9 modify function behaviour have change, in both case "next $weekday" always go to the next specified weekday ("next weekday" > "today"), but in 5.2.9 and 5.2.10 "+1 $weekday" go to the first encoutered specified weekday including today ("next weekday" >= "today"). The behaviour of older php versions seems more logical to me, '+1' should have the same behaviour than 'next'. Reproduce code: --------------- // Since php 5.2.9 $date = new Datetime("2009-06-01"); $date->modify("+1 ".$date->format("l")); // == ('+1 monday') echo $date->format("Y-m-d")."\n"; $date->modify("next ".$date->format("l")); // == ('next monday') echo $date->format("Y-m-d")."\n"; Expected result: ---------------- 2009-06-08 2009-06-08 Actual result: -------------- 2009-06-01 2009-06-08 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48699&edit=1
