Dates for Days...

[dodgyone]

I'm trying to build a page which lists...

The days in the present working weekday with the date (dd/mm/yy format) alongside. For example:

Monday - 10/10/02
Tuesday - 11/10/02
etc etc etc ...
Friday - 14/10/02

And then the dates for the following week etc etc.

Does anybody have any suggestions about how to do this. In ASP it just seemed so much easier!!!!!

Many thanks...

I don't think that's really what i'm after thanks KarveR.

Could somebody please make me up an example and short explanation to work by?

Cheers....

I'm really not sure about how to use the mktime function.

I need to establish which day of the week it is today and then what the date was/is for Monday to Friday in that week. And also the dates for Monday to Friday for the following week. The help docuemnt on PHP.net seems to be really poor!

Does anyone have a simple explanation to show how this can be achieved....

Thanks

<?php



$month = date(&quot;m&quot;
$day = date(&quot;d&quot;
$year = date(&quot;Y&quot;

echo &quot;Today is $day $month $year<hr>&quot;;

echo &quot;last Monday: &quot;.date(&quot;d m Y&quot;, mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day+1-date(&quot;w&quot;,mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day,$year)),$year)).&quot;<br>&quot;;
echo &quot;next Friday: &quot;.date(&quot;d m Y&quot;, mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day+5-date(&quot;w&quot;,mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day,$year)),$year)).&quot;<br>&quot;;
echo &quot;<hr>&quot;;

echo &quot;Next week:<br>&quot;;
echo &quot;Monday is : &quot;.date(&quot;d m Y&quot;, mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day+8-date(&quot;w&quot;,mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day,$year)),$year)).&quot;<br>&quot;;
echo &quot;Friday is : &quot;.date(&quot;d m Y&quot;, mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day+12-date(&quot;w&quot;,mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day,$year)),$year)).&quot;<br>&quot;;

By the way if you do date(&quot;d/m/Y&quot;,

your dat will be in dd/mm/yyyy format. ***************************************
