[SOLVED] Problem With Date Code

[UnsuitableBadger]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm having trouble with my code:

 

<?php
    $startDate = date("2009-08-01");
    $endDate = date("2009-10-30");
    $todaysDate = date("Y-m-d");

    $recurrenceType = 1;
    $recurrenceNumber = 1;

    for ($loopDate = $startDate; $loopDate <= $endDate; $loopDate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($loopDate)+86400))
    {
        $count++;
        // Daily
        if ($recurrenceType == 1)
        {
            if ($recurrenceNumber == 1)
                echo $loopDate."<br />";
            else
            {
                if (($count % $recurrenceNumber) == 1)
                {
                    echo $loopDate."<br />";
                }
            }
        }
        // Weekly
        elseif ($recurrenceType == 2)
        {
            if (($count % (7 * $recurrenceNumber)) == 1)
            {
                echo $loopDate."<br />";
            }
        }
        // Monthly
        elseif ($recurrenceType == 3)
        {
            if (($count % (30 * $recurrenceNumber)) == 1)
            {
                echo $loopDate."<br />";
            }
        }
    }
?>

 

This code basically runs from the $startDate to the $endDate and will list the dates as follows:

if $recurrenceType = 1 it will list dates daily

if $recurrenceType = 2 it will list dates weekly

if $recurrenceType = 3 it will list dates monthly

while $recurrenceNumber will list the recurring spacer so if you set $recurrenceType = 1 and $recurrenceNumber = 2 then the program will display every second date from start to end dates.

 

My problem is that if I start the date at 2009-08-01 and set the end date to 2009-10-25 or above it gets stuck on 2009-10-25 and just keeps spitting that date out.

 

Can anyone shed some light on why this would be happening?

 

Thanks

The problem is where you are adding your extra day. It is giving the 1970 result.

 

Try this:

<?php
    $startDate = strtotime(date("2009-08-01"));
    $endDate = strtotime(date("2009-10-30"));
    $todaysDate = date("Y-m-d");

   $recurrenceType = 1;
    $recurrenceNumber = 1;

    for ($loopDate = $startDate; $loopDate <= $endDate; $loopDate = mktime(0,0,0,date("m",$loopDate),date("d",$loopDate)+1,date("Y",$loopDate)))
    {
        $count++;
        // Daily
        if ($recurrenceType == 1)
        {
            if ($recurrenceNumber == 1)
                echo date('Y-m-d',$loopDate)."<br />";
            else
            {
                if (($count % $recurrenceNumber) == 1)
                {
                    echo date('Y-m-d',$loopDate)."<br />";
                }
            }
        }
        // Weekly
        elseif ($recurrenceType == 2)
        {
            if (($count % (7 * $recurrenceNumber)) == 1)
            {
                echo date('Y-m-d',$loopDate)."<br />";
            }
        }
        // Monthly
        elseif ($recurrenceType == 3)
        {
            if (($count % (30 * $recurrenceNumber)) == 1)
            {
                echo date('Y-m-d',$loopDate)."<br />";
            }
        }
    }
?>

Could you maybe suggest a way i could solve this as i'm quite unsure.

I tried checking the date at every stage and i don't seem to get any returns of 1970.

I did. In fact I rewrote a full working version in my last post

You're comparing dates which won't work. This works fine:

<?php
    $startDate = strtotime("2009-08-01");
    $endDate = strtotime("2009-10-30");
    $todaysDate = time();

    $recurrenceType = (isset($_GET['rt']))?$_GET['rt']:1;
    $recurrenceNumber = (isset($_GET['rn']))?$_GET['rn']:1;

    for ($loopDate = $startDate; $loopDate <= $endDate; $loopDate += 86400)
    {
        $count++;
        // Daily
        if ($recurrenceType == 1)
        {
            if ($recurrenceNumber == 1)
                echo date('Y-m-d',$loopDate)."<br />";
            else
            {
                if (($count % $recurrenceNumber) == 1)
                {
                    echo date('Y-m-d',$loopDate)."<br />";
                }
            }
        }
        // Weekly
        elseif ($recurrenceType == 2)
        {
            if (($count % (7 * $recurrenceNumber)) == 1)
            {
                echo date('Y-m-d',$loopDate)."<br />";
            }
        }
        // Monthly
        elseif ($recurrenceType == 3)
        {
            if (($count % (30 * $recurrenceNumber)) == 1)
            {
                echo date('Y-m-d',$loopDate)."<br />";
            }
        }
    }
?>
