is it possible to find out first week/second week/third week/fourth week from the date & month & year.

how to do that ?

first week/second week/third week/fourth week of what? The month? The year?

[nagasea]

here's the problem..
how do we know that October 26, 2003 is the 4th week on October ?

Is there any php scode (date) that can predict that accurately ?

Well, nothing pre-made for this, but you can write this function fairly easy.

Probably want to use date('w') to calculate the day of the week of the first of the month. Then you can find the end of the wekk based on that. That's 1 week calculated. Then subract the days from day passed to the function from the end of the week you just calculated. Divde by seven for weeks. Something like that.

Haven't had too much time to play with it, but give it a shot

<?
function get_week($month, $day, $year) {
   /* 
     Function to get the week number
     for the date passed to it. Since
     we're using date("W"), this 
     function assumes weeks start
     on Monday.
   */

   /* Make a readable format */
   $dt = $year."-".$month."-".$day;

   /* Check if date is valid */
   if(checkdate($month, $day, $year)) {

  /* Get week of year for date given */
  $weeknr = date("W",strtotime($dt));

  /* Get week of year for first of the month */
  $mweeknr = date("W",strtotime($year."-".$month."-01"));

  /* Calculate difference */
  $week = ($weeknr - $mweeknr)+1;

  return $week;
   }

   else {
     return "Invalid date (".$dt.")";
   }
}

echo get_week(10,26,2003);
?>
