note 55478 added to function.date

Relative dates (ie, Today, Yesterday, etc..) are missing from the date function. So I wrote this function to replace date(). It returns Today, Yesterday, or Day of the Week relative to {today} up to 6 days. Anything older than that, and it will use the formatting you would normally apply to date(). I hope somebody finds this useful. <? //Returns Today,Yesterday, Day of week ('l') //up to 6 days ago. Otherwise it uses $format function RelativeDate($format,$epoch) { $day = date('j',$epoch); $today = date('j',time()); $yday = date('j',strtotime("-1 day")); //account for last month's day switch($day) { case $today: return "Today"; break; case $yday: return "Yesterday"; break; default: //Look up to one week ago for($i=1;$i<=6;$i++) { $pastday = date('j',strtotime("-$i days")); if($day == $pastday) { return(date('l',$epoch)); } } //If we made it to here, just print the format given return date($format,$epoch); } } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+55478 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55478&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55478&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55478&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55478&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55478&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55478&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+55478&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
