I say it's time for a new acronym: WAAMPB

Hey all,

I needed to write a function that will tell me the dates of future
events that recurr monthly by day of month.  So for instance, "4th
Tuesday of the month for the next 6 months"

It ended up to be more difficult than I thought and I wanted to run the
function past you guys.  See attached.  Am I missing some clever way of
doing this?  The function seems to work, but another set of eyes would
be helpful - and it depends on UNIX timestamps, so...

The function is called as:

recurMonthlyByDay(2,4,20030522,23);

Which would return an array listing the 4th Tuesday, starting in May of
2003, for the next 23 months.  If you specify the second argument to be
greater than 5, then the last Tuesday would always be returned.


Thanks guys... feel free to use the function, too (that is, if it works)

H
