RE: [PHP] Head Twister: Need Help Please

hey jeff, i saw another solution just posted, but here's mine: <?php $first_crew = 4; $first_off = 2; $crew_cntr = $first_crew; $off_cntr = $first_off; $duty_schedule = array(); $days_in_current_month = date("t"); for($i=1; $i <= $days_in_current_month; $i++){ if($crew_cntr != $off_cntr){ $duty_schedule[$i] = $crew_cntr; $crew_cntr = ($crew_cntr % 7) + 1; } else { $crew_cntr = ($crew_cntr % 7) + 1; $off_cntr = ($off_cntr % 7) + 1; $duty_schedule[$i] = $crew_cntr; $crew_cntr++; } } ?> using april as the test, all you have to do is set the crew of the first day, and the first crew that gets off... the loop then generates the schedule for that month...it'd be easy then to tie this into something that either reads from a config file, or that just generates the years schedule, etc... best of luck, jack > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeffrey L.
