How to give every day a number?

[Gary_King]

How do I give today a number, and then every weekday after today I increment that number? Because I want to show an incremented number for every day after today.

Thanks in advance! 🙂

This seems to work...

$then = strtotime("Nov 9, 2004");
$now = time();
$day = 60*60*24;
$diff = floor(($now - $then)/$day);

How can I have it skip weekends, though? 🙁

Figure out how many weekends have passed between $then and $now, subtract that from the total. It's a tough little script when you start trying to eliminate weekends.

Of course you could also use a database. Have a table with a value. Increment that value everyday except on weekends with a automated script.

Thanks, that's probably the best and easiest way then.
