Re: Incrementing dates

Hiya Martin. You'd probably be better working around a database solution to your needs, but I am a bit drunk (and probably can't sensibly attempt to answer your question properly), but it got me thinking, so I decided to have a play with date incrementations. If anyone has any comments on this, I'd like to hear them (there's probably a simpler way around what I have done). Here's the URL: http://www.yorkshire-zone.co.uk/date_increment.php And here's the code that powers it: <HTML> <BODY> <? $date = date("2001-04-28"); list($year, $month, $day) = explode("-", $date); $actual_date = mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day,$year); $days_to_add = 7; $x = 1; while($x <= $days_to_add) { $make_date = getdate($actual_date); echo "Day $x: $make_date[mday] $make_date[month], $make_date[year]<BR><BR>"; $actual_date = $actual_date + (3600 * 24); $x++; } ?> </body> </html> Cheers, James ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Skjöldebrand" <chimbis@skjoldebrand.org> Newsgroups: php.general Sent: Saturday, April 21, 2001 11:06 PM Subject: [PHP] Incrementing dates > How do I increment dates past the turn of the month (or year)? > Say I've got a booking of equipment A for the 28 April to 5 May and want to > add each instance to a calendar (mysql table). > Can I increment the variable (format 2001-04-28) holding the date > ($txtDate++) somehow so that it doesn't add the 31, 32 and 33 of April? > > Martin S. > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >
