Req #51188 [NEW]: strtotime - last dayofweek of the month feature request

From: Operating system: Windows 2003 PHP version: 5.2.13 Package: Date/time related} Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:strtotime - last dayofweek of the month feature request Description: ------------ I was attempting to strtotime to find the last (specific) day of the month. Example: Last Monday of May But it returns false. I ended up taking a different approach but this would have been a nice feature. Also tried: Last Monday April Which did not return the results I was expecting. Maybe we can get a little more documentation on this function and what terms it accepts? (If this exists, I was unable to find it) Test script: --------------- $f = "Y-m-d";$now = 1267571715; // 2010-03-02 echo "<pre>"; echo date($f, strtotime("last Monday",$now))."\n"; echo date($f, strtotime("last Monday in March",$now))."\n"; echo date($f, strtotime("last Monday of March",$now))."\n"; echo date($f, strtotime("last Monday April",$now))."\n"; echo date($f, strtotime("last Monday in April",$now))."\n"; echo date($f, strtotime("last Monday of April",$now))."\n"; echo "</pre>"; Expected result: ---------------- 2010-03-01 2010-03-29 2010-03-29 2010-04-26 2010-04-26 2010-04-26 Actual result: -------------- 2010-03-01 (ok) 1969-12-31 (nothing returned) 1969-12-31 (nothing returned) 2010-03-29 (unexpected, but valid) 1969-12-31 (nothing returned) 1969-12-31 (nothing returned) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51188&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51188&r=mysqlcfg
