Hello everybody,
I hope you all have a nice day, mines not that good 'cause i have encountered a strange problem.
i have a few functions to work with dates. they are all very simple, a few lines of code.
this first one does just gives you the monday of the current week:
function get_monday($date) {
$input_date = strtotime($date);
$date_array = date_parse(date('r',$input_date));
$get_sunday = 7 - $date_array['relative']['weekday'];
$day_label = date("D, d.m.y",mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m") , date("d")+$get_sunday, date("Y")));
$new_day_label = strtotime($day_label);
$monday = date("D, d.m.y",mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m",$new_day_label) , date("d",$new_day_label)-6, date("Y",$new_day_label)));
return($monday);
}
now for testing purpose we say today is friday, 11.07.2008, this function returns correct Mon, 07.07.08.
now the problems lies in the second function or more in strtotime.
this second function just takes the inputed date and does some formating so it will fit into
the mysql db or query.
function get_mysql_date($date) {
$old_date = strtotime($date);
$new_date = date("Y-m-d",$old_date);
return($new_date);
}
But now the strange thing happening is, this function outputs '2008-07-14' which is monday of the next week.
now i think the problems lies somewhere in strtotime(), cause if i do this:
$dateForTable = $date_class->get_monday($today);
$dateTest =strtotime($dateForTable);
$dateTest2 =date('r',$yousuck);
it will also output 'Mon, 14 Jul 2008 07:07:08 +0200'.
i think strtotime() takes just the first part 'Mon' and looks what date the next monday is.
i'm realtivly new to php so any help solving this problem will be greatly appreciated.
thanks alot to all.
greetings from switzerland
