date/mktime for next week?

oMIKEo · 04-23-2008, 01:55 PM

Hi,

I'm trying to work out an easy way to calculate the date for next week based on the current date.

im using

PHP Code:


			
$varOne= mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m")  , date("d"), date("Y"));

$varTwo=  date('Y-m-d', $varOne);

What i want is to know the date for next Mon, Tue, Wed, etc.

So if its Monday today i need to know the current date + 7, if its Tuesday i need to know current date +8, etc.

is there an easy way without a load of IF statments?

Thanks,
Mike

Using date()

PHP Code:


			
//I dont remember the date output codes, you will have to look them up.
$next_week = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*7));

Now that you have the date of next week from now, you can calculate the rest yourself

Ive got it working but its a bit long winded:

PHP Code:


			
<?php



$myCurrentDayIs = date("D");



if($myCurrentDayIs == "Mon")

{

    $day_for_mon = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*7));  

    $day_for_tue = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*8));

    $day_for_wed = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*9));

    $day_for_thu = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*10));

    $day_for_fri = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*11));

}



if($myCurrentDayIs == "Tue")

{

    $day_for_mon = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*6));  

    $day_for_tue = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*7));

    $day_for_wed = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*8));

    $day_for_thu = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*9));

    $day_for_fri = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*10));

}



if($myCurrentDayIs == "Wed")

{

    $day_for_mon = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*5));  

    $day_for_tue = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*6));

    $day_for_wed = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*7));

    $day_for_thu = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*8));

    $day_for_fri = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*9));

}



if($myCurrentDayIs == "Thu")

{

    $day_for_mon = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*4));  

    $day_for_tue = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*5));

    $day_for_wed = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*6));

    $day_for_thu = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*7));

    $day_for_fri = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*8));

}



if($myCurrentDayIs == "Fri")

{

    $day_for_mon = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*3));  

    $day_for_tue = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*4));

    $day_for_wed = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*5));

    $day_for_thu = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*6));

    $day_for_fri = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*7));

}



echo "$day_for_mon<br />$day_for_tue<br />$day_for_wed<br />$day_for_thu<br />$day_for_fri";



?>

I have a better way, I'll post it when I'm home and can debug it.

sjaq · 04-23-2008, 03:36 PM

why not just use strtotime?

PHP Code:


			
$date = strtotime('+1 week');

That's pretty much what I was going to be put.

Thing is, he needs to know the dates of every day next week and has to be able to access them by day (monday, tuesday, ect). Those functions only say what next weeks today's date will be.

This will give you the dates of all the days next week, for a week.

PHP Code:


			
<?php
//get todays ISO-8601 numeric represenation of the date
$Today = date("N");
$DayNames = array(1=>"Monday",2=>"Tuesday",3=>"Wednesday",4=>"Thursday",5=>"Friday",6=>"Saturday",7=>"Sunday");
$Days = array();

$DayOffset = 0;
//generate all the days
for($i=0;$i<7;$i++)
{
    if($DayOffset > 7-$Today)
    {
        $DayOffset = -($Today-1);
    }
    $Days[$DayNames[$Today+$DayOffset]] = date("Y-m-d",time()+(60*60*24*(7+$DayOffset)));
    $DayOffset++;
}

echo $Days["Monday"] . "<br />";
echo $Days["Tuesday"] . "<br />";
echo $Days["Wednesday"] . "<br />";
echo $Days["Thursday"] . "<br />";
echo $Days["Friday"] . "<br />";
echo $Days["Saturday"] . "<br />";
echo $Days["Sunday"] . "<br />";
?>

As of 4/23/08, it outputs
2008-04-28
2008-04-29
2008-04-30
2008-05-01
2008-05-02
2008-05-03
2008-05-04

How about an alternative approach:

Provide start date
Find the following Monday
Loop through next n days for display

In PHP that might look something like:

PHP Code:


			
<?php header('Content-Type: text/plain');



// Create timestamp from start date (use: "now" [or time() function] for current date/time )

$date = strtotime('23 April 2008');



// Move date to coming monday 

$date = strtotime(sprintf('+%d day', 8 - date('N', $date)), $date);



// Write out the week's worth of dates

for ($days = 7; $days > 0; $date = strtotime('+1 day', $date), $days--)

{

    echo date('D jS M Y', $date), "\n";

}

However, that global $date variable floating around doesn't help us to see what's going on. If only there was some OO way to do the same thing which encapsulated the date.

PHP Code:


			
<?php header('Content-Type: text/plain');



// Create DateTime object from start date (use: "now" [or no arguments] for current date/time)

$date = new DateTime('23 April 2008');



// Move date to coming monday

$date->modify(sprintf('+%d day', 8 - $date->format('N')));



// Write out the week's worth of dates

for ($days = 7; $days > 0; $date->modify('+1 day'), $days--)

{

    echo $date->format('D jS M Y'), "\n";

}

Both strtotime and DateTime snippets output the same result:



Mon 28th Apr 2008

Tue 29th Apr 2008

Wed 30th Apr 2008

Thu 1st May 2008

Fri 2nd May 2008

Sat 3rd May 2008

Sun 4th May 2008

If it's not clear how/why I've done things the way that I have, please do ask! Either I, or someone quicker than me, can clear up any confusion.

P.S. The way I've written the for loops might seem a bit weird. Feel free to write them in a more 'normal' manner yourself.

Some conservatives have Coach Factory Outlet pushed that critique further, saying that Mr. Obama’s policies are too costly, often assist the wrong people Louis Vuitton Belts and could have the paradoxical effect of driving up college costs. The dispute turns not just on different Coach Factory Outlet assessments of how policies play out, but on differing philosophical views about the role of government. During Gucci Belts his time in office, Mr. Obama has sharply increased aid to low- and middle-income students, notably through the Pell Grant Coach Factory Outlet program, which grew from $14.6 billion given to 6 million students in 2008, to nearly $40 billion for Coach Factory Outlet almost 10 million students this year. His administration also made it easier to request aid, shortening the Coach Factory Online complex federal application and allowing people to transfer their financial information electronically from the Internal Coach Outlet Online Revenue Service database. But while many education experts laud his efforts, analysts of varying political Coach Outlet Online stripes have also questioned how much impact some of the president’s policies will have, noting that the prices Coach Online Outlet charged by colleges, and student borrowing, continue to climb.But behind the headlines about soaring costs, the Coach Factory Outlet Online reality is more complex and wildly uneven, because a growing number of students receive Coach Outlet Online financial aid, and only relatively high-income families pay those fast-rising sticker prices. Adjusted for Coach Factory Online inflation, the College Board calculates, the average net price changed little over the last decade at private Coach Factory Outlet schools, and rose only modestly at public ones.Defending federal spending, Arne Duncan, the secretary of Hermes Belts education, said that for more than 30 years, college prices had risen even when federal aid had not, leading him to believe Coach Factory Online there was zero correlation.

Organizers said Coach Outlet Online was opportune because the battle’s 150-year anniversary is in December, and Fredericksburg Coach Factory Outlet has been preparing to mark the sesquicentennial. in the new agreement is that Coach Outlet Online revolutionary councils from 14 Syrian provinces now each have a representative, though not all live Coach Online Outlet in Syria. The hope is that will bind the coalition to those inside the country. Perhaps Coach Bags Outlet the most important body the new group is expected to form is a Revolutionary Military Council Coach Factory Online to oversee the splintered fighting organizations and to funnel both lethal and nonlethal Coach Factory Outlet military aid to the rebels. It should unite units of the Free Syrian Army, various militias Coach Outlet Store Online and brigades in each city and large groups of defectors. Before the ink was even dry on the Coach Outlet Store final draft, negotiators hoped that it would bring them the antiaircraft missiles they crave to Coach Factory Stores take on the Syrian Air Force. The United States and Britain have offered only Coach Handbags Outlet nonmilitary aid to the uprising. A similar attempt by the Syrian National Council to Coach Factory Store supervise the military never jelled. Organizers said funding was too haphazard. Eventually foreign Coach Factory Online governments like Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are financing and arming the rebels, found Coach Factory Online their own favorite factions to deal with. Foreign leaders notably including Secretary of State Coach Outlet Hillary Rodham Clinton urged this unification largely so they could coordinate their Coach Factory Outlet efforts and aid through a group of technocrats. Once it receives international recognition, the Coach Outlet Store Online coalition is supposed to establish a temporary Coach Outlet Online military never jelled.
