strtotime("last monday")      or yesterday, is correct, but

strtotime("last sunday") gives me 3/10 (saturday), strtotime("last saturday") gives me 3/9 (Friday), "last friday" gives me 3/8 thursday...... etc. maybe it will go away after a week??????

What is the output of the below? echo date("Y-m-d g:i A T", time()); echo date("Y-m-d g:i A T", strtotime("last sunday"));

Funny stuff... I get the same under Ubuntu 6.10 with php 4.4.4 (manual build). Cheers, Rob.

I live in The Netherlands, using CET, and the output is fine. 2007-03-13 5:49 PM CET 2007-03-11 12:00 AM CET So the EDT/EST must cause the problem. I have my doubts that incorrect output is the cause. It's more likely the result. I'm ion the process of building PHP 4.4.6 to see if it has the same problem. Cheers, Rob. It is not a PHP problem, i just checked it on a server running

PHP4.4.4 in GMT timezone, output: 2007-03-13 4:55 PM GMT 2007-03-11 12:00 AM GMT All working fine. I see i made a mistake in my fix, i multiplied the value of strototime with 24*60*60, i meant to add, so it would become echo date("Y-m-d g:i A T", strtotime("last sunday") + 24*60*60);
