Note Submitter: wes.wysoft.com ---- Well I looked all over the place for this and couldn't find it so I made my own. Hopefully it saves someone else some time. It will give you the occurances of a day in a month. For example if you want to get the date of the 2 Tuesday in a month. <?php function weekDayOf($year,$month,$dayoftheweek=null,$occurance=null) { /* * returns the # occurance of the day of the week. Such as the 3rd sunday * if occurance is null it will return the whole array. for the week days in that month * it can be accessed by $date[$dayoftheweek][$occurance]=date; */ $mdays=date("t",mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year)); //days in the current month $first_day = date('w',mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year)); // day of the week the month started with $day_oc = array(); // occurances of each day of the week for($i=0;$i<$mdays;++$i){ $dayofweek = ($i+$first_day)%7; if(!is_array($day_oc[$dayofweek])) { $day_oc[$dayofweek] = array(); } $day_oc[$dayofweek][]=$i+1; } return $dayoftheweek ? $day_oc[$dayofweek][$occurance] : $day_oc; } ?>
