question regarding dates?

[_0_05_]

how can i find out how many days are in a month?

[ir4z0r]

idea: try days in a loop from 31 down, if checkdate() returns
true, break the loop and you have the number of days

clear?

You could do this many different ways.
Using date() and mktime() functions"

$numDaysInMonth = date("t", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 1, $year));
echo $numDaysInMonth;

There is also a builit in function for calculating the days in any month, also in any calendar:
cal_days_in_month

echo cal_days_in_month (0, 3, 2003);
//this will print 31
// because there are 31 days in the month of March in the year 2003

Also here is a link to PHP calendar functions:
