Weekly date!? Pls Help

[Forri]

Hi all

I'm trying to get a set of dates (array) when a user selects a Start Date, End Date and the week Days (Mon-Sun).

So to understand me better:

Start day: 01/05/2004 (ie: Sat 5th May 2004)
End Day : 15/05/2004 (ie: Sat 15the May 2004)

Days Selected = "Mon and Wed"

Output: (the array should contain)

03/05/2004 (Monday)
05/05/2004 (Wed)
10/05/2004 (Monday)
12/05/2004 (Wed)

Can you help me contruct a function for this!?

Thanks
Ncik

get startdate;
get enddate;
get daysselected;
convert startdate to startdays;
convert enddate to startdays;
for i = startdays to enddays;
Convert i to day_of_week;
if day_of_week in daysselected[]
add i into showdates[];
fi
next;

May not be efficient one but will solve your purpose

<?php

  $userselecteddate = array() ;
  $userselecteddate[0] = "Mon" ;
  $userselecteddate[1] = "Wed" ;

  $sdate =  "01/05/2004" ;// (ie: Sat 5th May 2004)
  $edate =  "15/05/2004" ;  //(ie: Sat 15the May 2004)

  list( $sday,$smon,$syear ) = explode( "/",$sdate ) ;
  list( $eday,$emon,$eyear ) = explode( "/",$edate ) ;

  $totdays =  ( mktime( 0,0,0,$emon,$eday,$eyear ) - mktime( 0,0,0,$smon,$sday,$syear ) ) / (24 * 60 * 60) ;


   for($i=0; $i<$totdays; $i++) {
   	$date = (date('d/m/Y',mktime( 0,0,0,$smon,$sday,$syear )+(60*60*24*$i)).'<br>');

    list( $day,$mon,$year ) = explode( "/",$date ) ;

    if ( in_array(date("D",mktime( 0,0,0,$mon,$day,$year ) ),$userselecteddate ) ) echo $date ;
   }
