PHP strtotime unexpected result

that code is working fine for me using : 5.3.2.

on later php version it gives ok time..

you can try wit singular "month"

<?php

$date = date('Ymd',strtotime('+1 month',strtotime('20101001')));
echo date('Ymd',strtotime('next friday',strtotime($date)));
?>

Select allOpen in new window

ovi_mihai -  Changeing month the months did not work, the problem seems to be how strtotime handles next in php previous to version 4.4.

From PHP.net:
In PHP versions prior to 4.4.0, "next" is incorrectly computed as +2. A typical solution to this is to use "+1".

I need a work around for this know bug, besides upgrading php.

well, my understanding is previous works ok

so you could try the following

<?php

$date = date('Ymd',strtotime('+1 month',strtotime('20101001')));
echo date('Ymd',strtotime('previous friday',strtotime('next friday',strtotime($date))));
?>

Select allOpen in new window

your code returns 19691231

what do u need to do exactly?

sorry not sure why it posted that codeblock with the message.

this code does the same , but im not sure if thats what u want

<?
$date = date('Ymd',strtotime('+1 months',strtotime('20101001')));
echo date('Ymd',strtotime('+1 friday',strtotime($date)));
?>

Select allOpen in new window

i ment it gives u "20101105" . try it on php 4

Changing previous to last fixed the issue. Thanks for the solution.
