strtotime Analysis

[ndorfnz]

Looking for assistance to step through what is happening here...

$sunday_ts = strtotime('-' . date('w', $base_time) . ' days', $base_time);

My final result is that I find locate sunday as the start of a week based on $base_time.

$base_time is established by:

if (!isset($_GET['base']))
{$base_time = time();} 
else 
{$base_time = $_GET['base'];}

Where I am getting lost is what is happening?

date('w',$base_time) is returning a number value of 0 - 6 depending on the day of the week...

Now how is that being used in the strtotime with the '-' and 'days' against the $base_time??

Looking to modify this to establish the "monday" as the start of the week.

Thanks much!

strtotime ( string time [, int now] )

So he's saying negative (-) X 'days' from $basetime

So -1 days from a base_time of Monday would be sunday!!

Something like that. I'm not sure as to the exactness, but it's a basic theory....

There are examples in the php manual ([man]strtotime[/man]) on adding days and what not, look there for further clarification.
