Works for me, could you run the following script please:

<?php
echo date_default_timezone_get(), "\n";
$ts = mktime(1,1,1,1,1,2011);
echo $ts, ': ', date('Y-m-d H:i:s e', $ts), "\n";
$newTs = strtotime('last day of this year', $ts );
echo $newTs, ': ', date('Y-m-d H:i:s e', $newTs), "\n";
?>

Ah, I see it. "last day of" is only implemented for "month", not "year". Obviously, the first and last days of a year are always going to be the same: Jan 1st, and Dec 31st. I'm leaving this as a Feature Request.

you can use "last day of december" :D

Just hit the same snatch.

Had to go with date('last day of December '.date('Y'))

Will love to have this in the feature.

Hi,

I'm not going to add this as it increases parser complexity, with a simple workaround available. You can either use "31 december this year", or "1 january this year", or "31 december", or "1 january" to achieve the same.

cheers,
Derick
