Question

I’ve some problem with make a simple PHP function to work on my webspace meanwhile it works like expected at my localhost server.

The problem is the following calculation:

echo $Formated = date("Ymd",strtotime("last day of next month"));

This script dosen’t seem to work b/c i simply gets the default date 19691231 instead of the correct one 20110630 when running it on my server.

I use windows (XAMP) as my localhost server so i guess there must be some form of problem that lies within the two platforms way of handling it?

Answer 1

strtotime is notoriously problematic going cross-version, so I’d recommend a vast simplification. You can use the ‘t’ character in the date format to represent the last day of the month, then reduce your strtotime call to simply return some timestamp for the next month.

echo $Formated = date("Ymt", strtotime("next month"));
