[Resolved] using strtotime on a timestamp from db?

[emrys404]

i think i jumped the gun on marking my last thread resolved. but this is a new question, so i wont feel too bad about posting a new thread.

okay, i have:
$blar = date("F j, Y", strtotime("Thursday"));
$blar1 = date("F j, Y", strtotime("Thursday +7 day"));
$blar2 = date("F j, Y", strtotime("Thursday +14 day"));
$blar3 = date("F j, Y", strtotime("Thursday +21 day"));

this is great, however how do i run this same code on a timestamp drawn from a db? for example, i want the next 4 thursdays starting from the timestamp date.
Thanks for any and all help

Okay i see in the php manual that strtotime processes "relative to the timestamp given in now". So how can i get around this?

Thanks

Pass strtotime a second argument that contains a timestamp and strtotime will work relative to that.

[weekender]

$blar = date("F j, Y", strtotime("Thursday", time()));

read the manual - [man]strtotime[/man]

int strtotime ( string time [, int now] )

and [man]time[/man] to get the current timestamp
