Drop Down Menu With Week Range Help

dadviser

Hello All,
I'm trying to create a drop down menu that contains the current week range (ie. 8/3/2008 - 8/9/2008) as the selected value and the next 3 weeks as the additional values. I am terrible with the date functions and am pleading for assistance.

Thank you for your time...

<?php
echo "<select name='dates'>";
for ($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++) { // add each week to the list
echo "<option>" . date("m/d/Y", mktime(0,0,0,date("m"), date("d") + $n, date("y"))) . " - " . date("m/d/Y", mktime(0,0,0,date("m"), date("d") + ($n + 6), date("y"))) . "</option>";
$n += 7;
}
echo "</select>";
?>

kerbee, thanks for your help...I really appreciate it. One question, how would I have the week range show from Sun to Sat and not the current day?

thank you much!

Add this code to the beginning:

<?php
$day = date("N"); // numeric representation of the day of the week
if ($day == 7) // today is Sunday, so let the range begin with today
$n = 0;
else // today is not Sunday, so set the range to begin from the last Sunday
$n = -$day;
?>

I wrote a function a ways back that you might be able to glean some useful information from.
