The docs for strtotime() are sorely lacking in what one's options are. I needed to generate timestamps for specific days of the week in a month (e.g. the 2nd wednesday or the 3rd friday). After messing about with different syntax, I found this works pretty consistently: strtotime('+0 week sun nov 2009'); // first sunday in nov 2009 strtotime('+1 week sun nov 2009'); // second sunday strtotime('-1 week sun nov 2009'); // last sunday in oct 2009 This is helping me considerably in parsing ical spec's RRULE sets for example. ---- Server IP: 192.41.40.227 Probable Submitter: 66.91.123.81 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/94423 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94423/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94423/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94423/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94423/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94423/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94423/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94423 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/94423 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
