I dont know...but since no-one had replied.. i would possibly suggest using a julian date.

have to go for own function

i think i have a solution

the user will provide a start date so...

eg: user enters "5/06/2005" (UK date)

this is really in effcient

my script can use mktime() to get the value for "next sunday"

in a loop store the value given for next "sunday" and calculate the next sunday do this 4 times

that gives the the same sunday the next month

though its not the best way do u think it will work ?

Well the days of monts vary from 28 to 31? Is that not an issue?
