Re: Last Sunday in September?

There's going to be 'tighter' and more efficient ways to do this.. probably some using strtotime(). I have an irrational distrust of the results from strtotime() though, so I use it sparingly. Here's a simple solution though: <?php // Designate month $month = "2"; // Designate year $year = "2006"; // Find last day of the month by finding how many days are in month // Could also do $month + 1, $day = 0 $lastday = date("t", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 1, $year)); // Find out what numerical day of the week it is, 0 = sunday, 6 = saturday $dayofweek = date("w", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $lastday, $year)); // Subtract day of week from current day. If you're already on last // sunday of the month, it'll be $lastday - 0 so it all works out $lastsunday = date("Y-m-d", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $lastday - $dayofweek, $year)); echo $lastsunday; ?> There's going to be a dozen ways to skin this one, just showing one way. -TG = = = Original message = = = Hi, I'm building a program and I need to find the last Sunday in September for every year because the following Monday is the start of a new year for us. So 2006 ends on September 24th 2006 and the new year (2007) starts on September 25th 2006. I was thinking that using the strtotime() would get me this information possibly? Is there an easy way to get this information?
