[Resolved] [Resolved] Getting the date of Good Friday?

[Black_Hobbit]

<?php

$thisyear = date("Y");
$today = date("m.d.y");
$easter = date("m.d.y", easter_date($thisyear));

if ($today == $easter) {

echo "Today is easter";

}
else {

echo "Easter is on $easter.";

}

?>

This may be kind of a stupid question but, is there a way to find good friday from this?

(Good Friday is the Friday before Easter Sunday)

$good_friday = strtotime( date("Y/m/d", easter_date() ) . " -2 days") );
echo("Good friday is " . date("Y/m/d", $good_friday));

[planetsim]

$easterDay = easter_date(date("Y"));
$goodFriday = $easterDay - (3600*24*2);
echo date("l dS F Y",$goodFriday);

This works

Cool, Thanks.
what was this little bit about?

$easterDay - (3600*24*2); 

why the 3600* stuff?

[Pig]

It's the number of seconds in 2 days.

Ok, thanks! That means that 3600 is an hour in seconds?
