E.g. I bumped into this when using PHP iCalender. After all, I cannot seem to find any exact specs on what strtotime should return for my example. The manual nowhere tells me that it will e.g. return next weeks tuesday if the specified time is on a tuesday. It will definitely returns a tuesday, but which one then?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-18 13:54:25] derick@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. 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 This was a bug in all earlier version. If today is "Tuesday October 18th" then the string "Tuesday" refers to the next one, which is October 25th. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-15 00:19:05] tony2001@php.net Looks like a feature, but I'm not sure. Please have a look. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-15 00:09:27] dverspui at hotpop dot com Hi, thanks for your reply. I succesfully compiled 5.1.0RC3-dev you gave me the link to, but the problem remains! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
