note 39297 added to function.date

I needed a function that could help me find out if any given date was a holiday. The array that contains all holidays add a simple way of making local variations of this function. The function returns True if the given day is a holiday. <? // Input date in format YYYY-MM-DD function check_for_holiday($date) { $year = date('Y',(strtotime($date))); $maundy_thursday = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,3,18+easter_days($year),$year)); $good_friday = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,3,19+easter_days($year),$year)); $easter_sunday = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,3,21+easter_days($year),$year)); $easter_monday = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,3,22+easter_days($year),$year)); $ascension_day = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,3,60+easter_days($year),$year)); $whit_sunday = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,3,70+easter_days($year),$year)); $whit_monday = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,3,71+easter_days($year),$year)); $holiday_array = array("$year-01-01", "$year-12-25", $maundy_thursday, $good_friday, $easter_sunday, $easter_monday, $ascension_day, $whit_sunday, $whit_monday ); if (in_array($date, $holiday_array)) return(true); else return(false); } if (check_for_holiday($date)) die("$date is a holiday"); else die("$date is not a holiday"); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+39297 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+39297&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+39297&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
