Just FYI you can use the word "last friday" in strtotime. So really you could check and see if the max day in a month is a friday and if not fall back on last friday. I didn't test it but I just thought I'd throw that out there. erics:~ eric$ php -r "echo date('n/j/Y', strtotime('last friday'));" 3/7/2008
