note 93408 added to function.strtotime

Adding to what Merlin at silvercircle dot org said, it took me a while to notice that strtotime starts searching from just after midnight of the first day of the month. So, if the month starts on the day you search for, the first day of the search is actually the next occurrence of the day. In my case, when I look for first Tuesday of the current month, I need to include a check to see if the month starts on a Tuesday. <?php if (date("l", strtotime("$thisMonth $thisYear"))=='Tuesday') { echo "<p>This month starts on a Tuesday. Use \"$thisMonth $thisYear\" to check for first Tuesday.</p>\n"; } else { echo "<p>This month does not start on a Tuesday. Use \"first tuesday $thisMonth $thisYear\" to check for first Tuesday.</p>\n"; } ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 128.194.248.252 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93408 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93408/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93408/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93408/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93408/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93408/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93408/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93408 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93408 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
