What does the debut output give you?
My guess is your server is running an earlier version of PHP, which doesn’t support the “next friday” option I’m using.
I’ll get a work around in place for you (and anyone else) in the next few days (I’ll also add a line in the debug output to show the current PHP version).
IF you can update your version of PHP to 5.3, that should fix it. Many hosts will let you do that yourself by selecting which version of PHP to run under.
Thanks!
My cPanel offered “default”, PHP4 or PHP5. Selecting PHP5 didn’t help.
When you have a chance, update to the newest version (1.1). It has additional debugging info, plus it calculates some of the dates differently if the initial attempt fails.
If it’s still not accurate, please turn on debugging and post the complete output here.
At half-past noon, the new version debug says:
