note 68851 added to function.date

To make a graphical layout of a calendar, running Monday to Sunday, you first need to make some blank days, if the month isn’t starting on a Monday. To find this number of blank days, you can very simple just -1 from the date(w, $first_day_of_the_month) function to change it from a Sunday-Saturday to Monday-Sunday format... But there’s a little tricky problem, if the first day of the month is a Sunday (native day 0 of the month), the var is a value of -1, which could be a problem... (In my calendar anyway) But a little if statement fixes this, very well: if ($dayone < 0){ $dayone = $dayone + 7; } By adding 7 to -1 you get the six blank days, as you should :-) Know this isn’t rocket science, but I didn’t spot this problem my self, until my boss called me up, and complained that October 1 wasn’t a Monday... Hope this could help with similar problems! ---- Server IP: 194.239.128.50 Probable Submitter: 84.238.93.234 ---- X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=7.4 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER, HEAD_ILLEGAL_CHARS autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/68851 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68851/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68851/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68851/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68851/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68851/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68851/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68851 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/68851 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
