date() q

[Anon]

I've tried to look around in the manual and search the forums, but I'm having a little trouble with what I want to do. Basically, I want to be able to take the X day of year Y and find out what the date is for that.

I noticed that 'z' in date() returns the day of the year of a given date, but I'm looking to to the exact opposite (get the date from the day of year Y).

Not sure if this is the easiest way but use the date and mkttime functions. So:

<?php
$day=5;
$test=date ("M j, Y", mktime(0,0,0,1,$day,2001));
echo "Day $day of year 2001 is $test";
?>

But that solves one problem. I am looking to figure out what the date it is by what week of the year is. So using the week function of Mysql, I want to know the date for the first day of the week. Anysuggestions. I need this because I am going to present my users with calendars for certain weeks but I need to know the date.
