note 35160 added to function.strtotime

In the note below by "php_net at evgeny dot ee", the get_monday() function could be simplified by using : strtotime(" monday", $first_date); or strtotime(" first monday", $first_date); instead of: strtotime(" next monday", $first_date) - 604800; As per the GNU date input format (http://www.gnu.org/manual/tar-1.12/html_chapter/tar_7.html), "next" will give you the 2nd occurance from the specified date, in which case you have to subtract 604800 (1 week in seconds) to return to the 1st occurance. Instead of going one week past the required date then coming back to it, just use "first" or the day name itself (in this case 'monday') to arrive at the 1st occurance. function get_monday($week, $year=""){ $first_date = strtotime("1 january ".($year ? $year : date("Y"))); if(date("D", $first_date)=="Mon") { $monday = $first_date; } else { $monday = strtotime("first monday", $first_date); } $plus_week = "+".($week-1)." week"; return strtotime($plus_week, $monday); } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+35160 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+35160&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+35160&report=yes
