Problem: the php code is returning the wrong day of the week on a statistics report the software generates. So when you go run the statistics page and it queries the DB it returns a value but the wrong day label shows up. In my test case I have data only on Thursday of the month and when I run the report it shows up as data for Sunday. Here are what I assume are the two section of code from my research.. rather than posting the entire php file. I guess at least I think I narrowed down the code section...small victories. The code used to get the first day of the month is (which i have seen out there and compared and looks like it is correct): function get_first_day($day_number=1, $month=false, $year=false) { $month = ($month === false) ? strftime("%m"): $month; $year = ($year === false) ? strftime("%Y"): $year; $first_day = 1 + ((7+$day_number - strftime("%w", mktime(0,0,0,$month, 1, $year)))%7); return mktime(0,0,0,$month, $first_day, $year); } Before I go on I have also tried to set $day_number=1 to various values 0-6, but seems to have no effect. I read several post that setting that value was the problem, but made no difference for me. I thought maybe the "session" was causing the issue after trying to learn about them, so I tried to log out and log back in clear my cache and also change browsers after changing the value but that got me nowhere. The code I guess you would say that calls this??? to generate the output report that is not correct is: <table id="graph_weekday" class="data" style="display:none" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <caption><?php echo _occupancy_per_week." / "._days;?></caption> <thead> <tr> <td class="no_input"> </td> <?php foreach ($label_wk as $value) { echo "<th>".strftime("%A", get_first_day($value, $_SESSION['statistic_month'], $_SESSION['selectedDate_year']))."</th>"; } ?> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <th><?php echo _days;?></th> <?php foreach ($data_wk as $value) { echo "<td>".$value."</td>"; } ?> </tr> </tbody> </table> } ?> So things seem to be working to pull the data, but the label is wrong. Though setting the value for $day_number= to something else doesn't seem to work. Is there something wrong with the.$value. which is being echoed and I need to apply the get_first_day to the value? Thanks for any help.
