Well, since this is clearly a DST problem, I'd adopt the classic DST-avoiding solution and specify a *time* that won't cause date-shifts if it gets DST adjusted. Also, as you're using gmdate, I think I'd specify that in strtotime() too. Taken together, this would give you something like: return gmdate("Y-m-d", strtotime("Last Sunday 12:00 GMT")); Cheers!
