It should be noted in the example, that time() + (7*24*60*60) and strtotime("+1 week") do
not always generate the same timestamp. The problem occurs when the daylight saving time changes.
Therefore it's usually better to use strtotime..
Example:
the last time the time changed in the Czech republic was on the 30th March 2008, from 2:00 to 3:00.
Assume it is Wednesday, the 26th March 2008, 23:59.
If you call
<?php echo date("l, jS F Y, H:i",strtotime("+1 week")); ?>
you get Wednesday, 2nd April 2008, 23:59, as you would predict,
although if you try
<?php echo date("l, jS F Y, H:i",time()+(7*24*60*60)); ?>
you get Thursday, 3rd April 2008, 00:59. Here's where things might get a bit confusing, if you
don't expect it!
Suddenly you find the food list for the next week is gone :D !
