Hello all,

I have a simple theoretical question. I want to make a reporting php engine, which will manage a company's employees. I need a way to know the current month's days(30 or 31, or 28) and when I go through everyday I want to know what day of the week it is(Monday, Tuesday etc...). Can you suggest an algorithm or some hints? Probably I would have to deal with the date() func ?

Any hints/clues are greatly appreciated,

<?php
$total_days = array(
	2 => 28,
	4 => 30,
	6 => 30,
	9 => 30,
	11 => 30
);

if (date('L')) {$total_days[2] = 29;}
$month = date('n');
if (isset($total_days[$month])) {$total = $total_days[$month];}
else {$total = 31;}

echo 'The current month is ' . $month . ' which has a total of ' . $total . ' days<br>';
echo 'The current day of the week is ' . date('l');
?>
