Maybe it's just me, but I've never quite figured out what people mean
when they say "next Saturday"...
Do they mean the next one coming up?
Or do they mean that there's "this Saturday" coming up and "next
Saturday" the one after that?
And if I can't figure it out, why would you expect PHP to figure it out?
:-)
