Re: "weeks" via date function

you could use date('z') to get the day of year, and divide by 7. but i have a feeling that you don't want to count *full* weeks, but rather do it like a calendar does... you could probably find out what day of the week the 1st of the year falls on, then add/subtract to date('z') before dividing. but i don't have any example code... i had to do that once with perl, about 2 years ago and IIRC it was a little tricky, but not very complicated. -- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation scott (*) eac.com -- "Wolfgang Schneider" <schneider@bibelcenter.de> wrote in message news:200207190826.g6J8Q9Ut011792@smtp.netcologne.de... > Hello everyone, > > I have a question concerning how to determine the week of the year > via the date functions in php ... > > Does anyone have a suggestion on how to set up some code to determine > which "week of the year" the "current date" is in, that is for > today's date (19 July 2002) it should return "29" (this being the > 29th week of 2002). > > I've checked info on "date" in various sources available to me, but > couldn't find a hint on how to do it ...maybe I am just blind .
