getting date stamp based on week number , year, day??

webdeveloper02

Hello,

Have a bit of a odd-one here: I'm attempting to determine / return a date (ex: 10/28/2002) based off of these parameters:

year ( 2002)
week number (1-52)
day name (Saturday, Sunday, etc.)

..so I'm wondering which date funtions I need to cludge together to get this to work, any suggestions?

example:

$which_day = foo("2002", "3", "Sunday");

would return the date stamp for the 3rd Week' of 2002's Sunday.

In the case of the example should return: "01/13/2002"

Thoughts???

try something like

<?
$week = 5;
$year = 2002;
$day = "Tuesday";

$week--;

$temp = strtotime("01 January $year + $week weeks $day");
echo date("m-d-Y", $temp) . "<br>";
?>

HTH

This is a rather old thread but i'm have the same requirement as the original poster and was hoping maybe someone could shed some light on this.

When I excute this code the date is comes as Nov, 6 when it should really be Oct, 30.


function MkTime($yr, $mth, $day) {
    $Wk = date("w", mktime(1, 1, 1, $mth, 1, $yr));
   /* week equals 44 */
    $MyDay = date("M, j",  strtotime("01 January $yr +$Wk weeks $day"));
          return $MyDay;
  }

echo MkTime(2006, 11, "Monday");

Any help in figuring this out would be great.

[man]mktime/man is already a function -- use a different name.
I believe you want 'W' not 'w' in your date format.
Nov, 6 is the correct date...

"w" was corrected earlier hence why I was able to get week 44.

That said looking at this calendar. http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/custom.html?year=2006&country=1&month=11&wno=1&moon=on&typ=1&display=1&hol=25

Monday of the 44th week should be Oct, 30. Unless i'm missing something.

Thank you for the help thus far.

A very similar question was posted just yesterday (in this thread) to which two solutions were offered. Either one of them can be simply modified to solve your problem.

Is there a way to accurately get what week the 1st of the month is, for each month.

i.e. Nov. 1st is the 44th week of the year.

/* produces week 52 */
echo date("W", strtotime("1/1/2006"));

/* should infact be week 1 */

should infact be week 1

No infact it's in the 52nd week (of the previous year), as your own code shows:

/* produces week 52 */ 
echo date("W", strtotime("1/1/2006"));

And since, as you yourself say, 10-30 of the same year is in the 44th week, that must be so (check your calendar) unless there are two week ones.

Ah I see what's happening it's ISO 8601 format.
http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/custom.html?year=2006&country=1&month=1&wno=2&moon=on&typ=1&display=1&hol=25

Whereas as this isn't.
http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/custom.html?year=2006&country=1&month=1&wno=1&moon=on&typ=1&display=1&hol=25

So my question now is how which format should one using in constructing a calendar that displays the week in addition to the days.
