note 64843 added to function.mktime

Here's a quick function that will return the timestamp corresponding to the first weekday in a given year. E.g. if you want to get the first Monday in a given year, or the first Sunday, this function will do that for you. <?php // returns the timestamp of the given weekday number in the given year // $weekday is 0 for Sunday, 1 for Monday, etc. function getFirstDayStamp($year, $weekday) { // get the stamp for the first day of the year (January 1) $jan1 = mktime(1,1,1,1,1,$year); $jan1_weekday = date('w', $jan1); $delta = $weekday - $jan1_weekday; if ($delta >= 0) { return(mktime(1,1,1,1,1 + $delta, $year)); } else { // negative deltas pull us into previous year so add 7 return(mktime(1,1,1,1,(1 + $delta) + 7, $year)); } } ?> ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 24.150.120.2 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/64843 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64843/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64843/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64843/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64843/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64843/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64843/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64843 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/64843 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
