Dates <-> weeks

[Anon]

Hi

I need some suggestions on how to solve a problem regarding a function to get the dates of a certain week.

I need a fucntion like this:

array getWeekDates($weekNr,$year) ,

which will return an array with the dates for that particular week (0=monday).

I Have discovered some problems at the end/start period of each year. Sometimes there is a week 53 and othertimes it don't, I never want a weeknr 53!

All suggestions are good!

This will return all the dates when given the weekend date.

$weekend="26/08/2001";
$weekdates=getdates($weekend);

function getdates($datein)
{
for ( $loop=0; $loop<7; $loop++ )
{
$bits=explode("/", $datein);
$dat=$bits[0]-$loop;
$usedate=date("d/m/Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, $bits[1], $dat, $bits[2]));
$dates[]=$usedate;
}
return $dates
}

Oh hang on that gives the weekdays in reverse order. it should be

$weekend="26/08/2001";
$weekdates=getdates($weekend);

function getdates($datein)
{
for ( $loop=0; $loop<7; $loop++ )
{
$bits=explode("/", $datein);
$dat=$bits[0]-(6-$loop);
$usedate=date("d/m/Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, $bits[1], $dat, $bits[2]));
$dates[]=$usedate;
}
return $dates;
}

well, thx but that was not what I need.

The importatnt thing is to give a WEEK as parameter and the be returned all dates or at least the first of the given week.

More suggestions?

try next pice of code

<?php
function getWeekDates($week_no, $year)
{
$week_dates = array();
$week_time = mktime(0,0,0,1,$week_no7,$year);
$week_day=date("w",$week_time);
for($i=0; $i<7; $i++)
{
$x_time = $week_time - ($week_day - $i)246060;
array_push($week_dates,date("d-M-Y",$x_time));
};

    return($week_dates);

}
echo '<PRE>';
print_r(getWeekDates(52,2000));
echo '</PRE>';

?>

It do not work, it bugs if one tries near the end/start of the years on certain years.
