for ($day = 31; $day = 21; $day--) { // maximum of 7 days, but
february starts at 28
$tmp_time = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);
if (date('w', $tmp_time) === '5') { // 5 = friday
return date('d-m-Y', $tmp_time);

it is faster off course
// echo 'Yeah, friday!';
}
}
Something similar worked for me to find out when daylight saving time is.

My view...
$strDate = '02/23/2008';
//
$intDate = strtotime($strDate);
$numDaysInMonth = date('t', $intDate);
$dayOfWeek = date('w', $intDate);
$dayOfMonth = date('j', $intDate);
If ($dayOfWeek == 5 $numDaysInMonth - $dayOfMonth 7) {
echo Friday Party!;
} else {
echo Sorry dude, you missed it;
}
Btw, read the manual (and don't think to be so lucky to not found any bugs
in my
code).

Just FYI you can use the word last friday in strtotime. So really
you could check and see if the max day in a month is a friday and if
not fall back on last friday. I didn't test it but I just thought I'd
throw that out there.
erics:~ eric$ php -r echo date('n/j/Y', strtotime('last friday'));

Hi Tedd,
Thanks for the writeup! You could streamline that a bit by using
getdate() and using the returned array values.
