[Resolved] Incrementing Dates

[furious5]

Ok I posted a question yesterday about some code I'm trying to get to grips with but no responses. 🙁

Basically what I'm trying to do is get the date today and display this, if I click a button then I want to increment the month.

Initially I had been working with getDate() to get the existing date and return it in seperate strings.

From here I passed this in to an array and can simply increment the number. My problem is then incrementing this number.

Can anyone help me, I've been tearing my hair out with this code.

Hava a look at date and mktime it will require a little shuffling about but shouldn't be too hard at all.

<?php
$num_month = date('m');  //numeric representation of the current month
$tex_month = date('M'); //short text representation of the current month

$tex_next_month = date('M', mktime(0,0,0,date('m')+1, date('j'), date('Y')));
?>

HTH

This is the code I'm working with.

My only problem is when I try and increment the month, the date defaults to January 2000, any ideas?

if($submit) {

// Subtract one from the month for previous, add one for next

if ($submit == "Prev") {
$month_now--;
} else {
$month_now++; }

$date = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$month_now,1,$year_now));

} else {
$date = getdate();
}

$month_num = $date["mon"];
$month_name = $date["month"];
$year = $date["year"];
$date_today = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$month_num,1,$year));
$first_week_day = $date_today["wday"];
$cont = true;
$today = 27;

while (($today <= 32) && ($cont)) {
$date_today = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$month_num,$today,$year));

if ($date_today["mon"] != $month_num) {
$lastday = $today - 1;
$cont = false;
}

$today++;
}

echo $month_num;
echo $month_name;
echo $year;
