PHP date calculation

[johnsmith153]

I need to display the current and next 3 quarters (and get the time() value)

 

so as now is December 2008 I want to display to the user the following text

 

Oct-Dec 2008 (and the time() value of Oct 1st)

Jan-Mar 2009 (and the time() value of Jan 1st 2009)

Apr-Jun 2009

Jul-Sep 2009

 

I just need the text and time() values, the rest is not a problem

 

This will be used for many years, so one day it will be Feb 2010 and I will need it to automatically show Jan-Mar 2010 onwards etc.

 

Any ideas?

Obviously I have checked that. I was hoping there might be a Q function - get current quarter or something.

 

I was hoping somebody might point me in the direction of how to even get just the time() value of current quarter.

$currentQuarter = floor(($currentMonth - 1)/ 3) + 1;
