Weekday date calculations

[autumn]

Hello,

I've hit a brick wall with this project and I was hoping someone here could point me to the right direction. Here's what I want:

The user enters a time, say 9am, then enters the day of the week, say Monday.

Assuming we know the timezone the user is in, how can we work out what day and time the user has entered in GMT time?

Note this is for a weekly timetable so there is no date information like day, month, year so I guess mktime won't do the trick?

I supposed I would like to use something like mktime to work our the GMT time and weekday, but how does one use just time and weekday to perform date calculations?

Thanks
A.

Someone else was doing time calculations a few days and I posted some thoughts which may be of interest to you: 10720314.

You could use these ideas to create constants for $DAY, $HOUR and $MINUTE and then create a $ARBITRARY_WEEK array something like this:

$ARBITRARY_WEEK = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < 7; $i++) $ARBITRARY_WEEK[$i] = $i * $DAY;

(or maybe even do it for a fortnight).

You may then be able to do calculations on just weekday and time using this data.

The main princple behind it is using the millisecond values for days, hours and minutes from an arbitary starting position like 0 or now.
