Loop days in a month? 2

[Tokhra]

Hi all,

How would you retrieve the number of days in a month dynamically with php?

Thanks,
Matt.

php's date() funtion is very good.

<?php 
echo date('t');
?>

KarveR's example prints out the number of days in the current month (at execution time). If you want a different date you also have to pass a second argument that provides the date to be examined. There are many ways to supply that, as a UNIX timestamp, a string transformed into a date with strtotime() etc.

Thanks for the responses KarveR and DRJ478. I regularly use the mktime and date functions but never realised date could tell you how many days in a month :s, I ended up using an array to store days in month hard coded.

Oh well, I'll know for next time

Thanks Again
