Mktime??

[mark_and_co]

Hi All,

I am really confused about the mktime function, so please bear with me. What I want to do is use the mktime to display the last day of the week. For example if today is Tuesday it will display Monday, if it's Monday it will display Friday.

Is this possible?

Thanks for your help

Mark

If I get this right, you are trying to make it show the previous day in the working week ?
i.e. Tuesday will show Monday
Wed - Tues
Thurs - Wed
Fri - Thurs
Mon - Fri

Something like that ?

Yeah that's correct.

OK - Not sure about using mktime for it, but this works.

<?php
$today=date("w", time()); //allocates day of week number
if ($today==5) // is it a Saturday?
{
$dayofweek=date("l j M Y", strtotime("last Friday")); // if so show last fridays date
}
$dayofweek=date("l j M Y", strtotime("Yesterday")); // else show yesterdays date

echo $dayofweek;
?>

Tada !! (Well one way of looking at it anyway !)
