note 84507 added to function.date

Below is a function I wrote, probably over complicated, to get the date of last $weekday. function weekStartDate($weekday) { $begin = date("N", strtotime($weekday)); $today = date("N", strtotime(date("D"))); $days = $today; for($i = 0; $i < 7; $i++) { if($days == 0) $days = 7; if($days == $begin) { $days = $i; break; } $days--; } $from_day = date("d") - $i; return date("Y-m-d", mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), $from_day, date("Y"))); } usage: $weekday = 'Sat'; $last_weekdays_date = weekStartDate($weekday); ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 24.73.57.39 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84507 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84507/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84507/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84507/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84507/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84507/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84507/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84507 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84507 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
