Unique Problem with the php date and get_posts

Question

date returns a string but you are using integers in the switch statement. Use:

case '01':
    $dateY = date('Y')+1;
    break;

etc.

However, the switch code can be much simpler, and there is no need to call the date function again since dateY has already been initialised in advance:

switch($dateM)
{
  case '01':
  case '02':
  case '03':
  case '04':
  case '05':
  case '06':
    $dateY+=1;
}

And even simpler, you can skip the switch altogether:

if(intval($dateM) < 7) $dateY+=1;
