note 51025 added to function.date

Here's an easy way to deal with date recurrences, or if you need to add days, months or years to a current date... <?php //$type determines which set of variables will be selected below. if ($type == 'daily'){ //daily $increment = 1; $stmt = 'days'; } else if ($type == 'weekly'){ //weekly $increment = 7; $stmt = 'days'; } else if ($type == 'biweekly'){ //bi-weekly $increment = 14; $stmt = 'days'; } else if ($type == 'monthly'){ //every month $increment = 1; $stmt = 'months'; } else if ($type == 'biannualy'){ //every 6 months $increment = 6; $stmt = 'months'; } else{ //every year $increment = 1; $stmt = 'years'; } //set counter $t = $increment; //will continue to loop as many times as the recurrence ($number_times_recurring) while ($t<($number_times_recurring*$increment)){ //$calendar_startdate and $calendar_enddate are pre-determined and match the Y-m-d H:i:s format $startdate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($calendar_startdate." + ".$t." ".$stmt)); $enddate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($calendar_enddate." + ".$t." ".$stmt)); //here you can complete a database "INSERT" or whatever you want to do $t = ($t+$increment); } ?> I hope this helps! :) Roberta ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51025 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51025&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51025&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51025&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51025&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51025&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51025&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
