ID: 16536 Updated by: james@jimijon.com Reported By: james@jimijon.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: mac os x PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: No, just trying to get a consistently working numeric date for the Sunday of that week. yymmdd Though a previos algorithm I had: echo "last sunday: ".date("ymd", mktime(0,0,0,$mnth,$dy-date("w",mktime(0,0,0,$mnth,$dy,$yr)),$yr))."<br is working this week properly, but has in the past worked inproperly.. there is something really goofy going on with the date math in php. Anyone have a ultra reliable Sunday of the Week algorithm?
