strtotime() sucks. As you can see reading through the notes, there are several examples of questionable behaviors, things that should intuitively work differently, etc. That's because you're basically learning a new language to describe times. I prefer mktime(), because there is no possibility of ambiguity. It doesn't have niftiness factor -- you can't tell it to fetch the third tuesday after the second full moon in 20x6 -- but for most applications, it's quite sufficient and can help you avoid very frustrating bugs in your code. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41329 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41329&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41329&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
