You could do it by starting with the first day, get the timestamp for that day (mktime(0,0,0,m,d,y)), and then you can add 86400 (secs per day) to this and check each day consecutively using e.g. the getdate() function. (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getdate.php) Something like (not tested): // ... $current_timestamp = mktime(0,0,0,$start_m,$start_d,$start_y); // ... for($i=0;$i<$num_days_of_stay;$i++){ $this_date = getdate($current_timestamp); // $this_date now contains all the info you need // Now, check for month, day of week etc. and update as needed // ... $current_timestamp += 86400; } -- --Fredrik Faith, n: That quality which enables us to believe what we know to be untrue. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
