Torsten,
Whatever the combination, it echos "February 02-2005<br>February 02-2005<br>February 02-2005". What is wrong with it?

<?php
$week5 = "2005-02-14";
$firstDayTs = strtotime($week5);
$lastDayTs = $firstDayTs + (4 * 86400);
echo date('F', $firstDayTs) . ' ' . date('m', $firstDayTs) . '-' . date('Y',$firstDayTs) ."<br>";
echo date('F', $firstDayTs) . ' ' . date('m', $firstDayTs) . '-' . date('Y',$lastDayTs) ."<br>";
?>
