between two dates?

[viveleroi0]

I have been devloping a ticket sales program. I am stuck on a part for figuring out show dates.

Say I want to enter in two dates, like 3/21/03 and 4/26/03, and I want the script to automatically make a drop-down list with all of the fridays, saturdays, and sundays in between. I have tried to get this done using loops (I couldn't get it), using advanced math, but there has to be a simpler way.

No need to write the code for me, just give me an idea of how I could set that up. (I can use a MySQL table if need be)

i don't have working code for you. but i might give you an idea

the date() function has the ability to tell you the day of the week a date is. so 0 == sunday, 1 == monday, 2 == tuesday and so on.... up to 6 == saturday

if you use mktime() you can say
mktime ( 0, 0, 0, $Month, $day, $Year)

then use date() to see whether its either 5,6 or 0

this is possible code:

// $Month, $Day, $Year are from your form
// or input source.
$number = date("w",mktime ( 0, 0, 0, $Month, $Day, $Year));
loop($condition){
     if($number == (5 || 6 || 0)){
        echo "show date";
     }
}
