finding "next MONDAY"

[emretemp]

firstiful hi to all, this is my first message, so this is a great oppurtunity to help a newcomer 🙂

my problem is about getting the next monday. it can be in unixtimestamp or in any other time format, it does not matter.

We have an application, where our clients fill a form and post some comments. Because of firm policies, we want to reply all the posts we get daily.

What I need to do is, if a post sent date is saturday or sunday, I want to find the first "next monday" date, and forward these messages to that date.

lets say that ClientA is going to post a message on 19 Saturday 2005. (saturday)
here is the mysql structure:
id / postdate / forwardedtodate / postmessage

what I want is to calculate and get the first monday starting from 19 february. which is 21 february.

anyone knows how can i do that?

Use say, [man]date/man to get the month.
Say date("D", $timestamp) will do.
Then if the result is "Sat", add (up to) 2 days, if the result is "Sun", add (up to) 1 day.

Or see Example 1 of [man]strtotime[/man].
