Note Submitter: paulhan at eircom dot net ---- Same day in week each month script This is a script I use to find dates based on first or third Friday in every month (or any other day in a month) <?php //For this example, give nextdate a timestamp $nextdate = time(); //Format nextdate for viewing $output = date("D d-F-Y H:i", $nextdate)."<br />\n"; //Initialise no of days in month array $monArr=array(31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31); //Get the next twelve months (can be more or less) for ($i=0; $i<12; $i++){ //Convert timestamp into its constituents $dt = getdate($nextdate); //Get no of days in the month $nod = $monArr[$dt['mon']-1]; //Do a simple leap year check. Better example elsewhere if ($dt['mon']==2 && ($dt['year']%4) == 0){ $nod = 29; } //Get the day part of the time $dom = $dt['mday']; //Get earliest possible date for that day $firstday = $dom % 7; //Get the difference between the number of days and the // maximum number of possible weeks in a month $diff = $nod - 28; //If the earliest possible date falls within that difference // and is greater than 0, and the date is less than 28, // then add 35 days using strtotime to get over DST //issues. Just means there will be five of those days in // the month if ($firstday <= $diff && $firstday > 0 && $dom < 28){ $nextdate = strtotime("+35 days",$nextdate); //If not, just add 28 days to the date }else{ $nextdate = strtotime("+28 days",$nextdate); } //Show the output for checking, could also use the raw // timestamp for a mysql query $output .= date("D d-F-Y H:i", $nextdate)."<br />\n"; //Should output the third Friday in every month, for // instance echo $output; } ?>
