note 62293 added to function.mktime

A bit of code to get 'last friday': <?php $day = date("w",time()); switch ($day) { // sunday case 0: $last_friday = mktime(12,0,0,date("m"),date("d")-2,date("Y")); break; // monday case 1: $last_friday = mktime(12,0,0,date("m"),date("d")-3,date("Y")); break; // tuesday case 2: $last_friday = mktime(12,0,0,date("m"),date("d")-4,date("Y")); break; // wednesday case 3: $last_friday = mktime(12,0,0,date("m"),date("d")-5,date("Y")); break; // thursday case 4: $last_friday = mktime(12,0,0,date("m"),date("d")-6,date("Y")); break; // friday case 5: $last_friday = mktime(12,0,0,date("m"),date("d")-7,date("Y")); break; // saturday case 6: $last_friday = mktime(12,0,0,date("m"),date("d")-1,date("Y")); break; } ?> to make it work for another day of the week, just shift the date("d")-7 part up and change the corresponding ones to match... example: if you wanted last thursday instead, thursday would become date("d")-7, friday date("d")-1, saturday date("d")-2, sunday date("d")-3, etc. etc. Hope this snippets helps someone, as I didn't see a very straight forward example of this kind of logic on any of the date(), mktime(), or time() pages.
