For example today is Wednesday and if i try this: echo date('d/m/Y', strtotime('next wed -1 day')); the output will be: 09/06/2015 The "next wed" seems to be ignored as you said. But, if i try to do the opposite operation: echo date('d/m/Y', strtotime('next wed +1 day')); the output will be: 18/06/2015 This time "next wed" worked well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-06-10 12:04:09] cmb@php.net Hm, I'm not sure if that is supposed to work. Apparently 'next tue' is simply ignored and only '-1 day' is calculated. Anyhow, do you really mean 'next tue -1 day' instead of 'next mon'? Both have, of course, different results on Mondays. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-06-09 13:57:32] s dot rotondo90 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ When subtracting days from the next day of the week and today is the same day of the week, strtotime use the current date instead. Test script: --------------- // Today is 09/06/2015 echo date('d/m/Y', strtotime('next tue')); echo date('d/m/Y', strtotime('next tue -1 day')); Expected result: ---------------- 16/06/2015 15/06/2015 Actual result: -------------- 16/06/2015 08/06/2015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69786&edit=1
