Re: [PHP] First day of the month
On Tuesday 03 August 2004 13:46, David Hansen Jr. offered up the following tid-bit of information : I'm trying to make a custom calendar script for my school district, and I'm hitting a little obstacle. I know how I can accomplish what I'm after, but it's a lot of extra coding. I'm wondering if there's a simple way to figure out what day of the week the first day of the month lands on. I can take the info pulled with date() and use several switch() and if statements, but that's ugly. Anyone have any suggestions?

I was going to suggest; $dayofweek = date(D,strtotime(date(Y-m-01))); Warren Vail -Original Message- From: John Nichel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2004 11:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] First day of the month On Tuesday 03 August 2004 13:46, David Hansen Jr. offered up the following tid-bit of information : I'm trying to make a custom calendar script for my school district, and I'm hitting a little obstacle.

Thanks! ~ David You mean like: $firstWkDay = date(l, mktime(0,0,0,7,1,2004)); That's much simpler that what I had in my head.

RE: [PHP] First day of the month
I was going to suggest; $dayofweek = date(D,strtotime(date(Y-m-01))); Warren Vail That probably works but if you look, you're calling a function inside a function that's inside another function. $dayofweek = date(D, mktime(0,0,0,$m,1,$y)); A little more simpler. BTW, D or l pretty much do the same thing. It depends on whether you wan Mon or Monday. D = abbrviated name l = full name -- --Matthew Sims --http://killermookie.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
