[PHP] Date () Help please
Hello all, I am very new to PHP and I have added some minor PHP to my website. I would like to make a PHP calander to keep track of things going on. Could someone tell me how I can get the first day of every month. For Example: 01 Jul 2002 was a Monday. 01 Mar 2002 will be a Thursday I need the dates to start my tables so they insert the numbers in the right day.

$today = date(w); // $today will result in '1' $today = date(D); // $today will result in 'Mon' $today = date(l); // $today will result in 'Monday' Now if you wanted to feed the script something like this: $string = 01 Jul 2002; $today = date(l,strtotime($string)); This will result in the long textual day of '01 Jul 2002', so 'Monday' or if you interchange the l in the first part of the date function with w you will get the the day of the week, numeric, i.e. 0 (Sunday) to 6 (Saturday) or if you use D you will get the short textual day so 'Mon' I hope all of that makes sense to you.

RE: [PHP] Date () Help please
You could use mktime() with date, too...
$first_day = date(w,mktime(0,0,1,$month,1,$year));
Set your $month and $year accordingly.

$year = date (Y); //This gets me the current year 2002
$month = date (m); //This gets me the current month 07
$day= 1; //always looking for the 1st day of

$today = date(w); // $today will result in '1'
$today = date(D); // $today will result in 'Mon'
$today = date(l); // $today will result in 'Monday'
Now if you wanted to feed the script something like this:
$string = 01 Jul 2002;
$today = date(l,strtotime($string));
This will result in the long textual day of '01 Jul 2002', so
'Monday'
or
if
you interchange the l in the first part of the date function
with
w
you
will get the the day of the week, numeric, i.e. 0 (Sunday) to
6
(Saturday) or if you use D you will get the short textual day so
'Mon'
I hope all of that makes sense to you. Check out the php manual
for
the
function date and strtotime.
