note 94746 added to function.date

In response to the note by przemeq at gmail dot com, you can do this with far fewer lines of code: <?php function dayOfWeek($date) { $epoch = strtotime($date); if(!$epoch) { trigger_error('Unable to convert date to epoch value', E_USER_WARNING); return; } return date('w', $epoch); } ?> This is considerably less code, even when you include sanity checks (which the last note does not). It also conviently supports any date (November 22nd, 2009, 11/22/2009, 2009-22-11, now, Next Thursday, One Month From Today, etc.). As a note, Saturday == 6, != 7. There are seven days, and date() counts from 0, meaning the highest integer value can be 6. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 70.88.230.126 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/94746 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94746/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94746/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94746/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94746/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94746/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94746/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94746 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/94746 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
