extrovertive Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 [code=php:0]$weekposA = array(1=>"first", "second", "third", "fourth");$month = date("F"); //get the month (Januaray to December)$day = date("j"); //get day of the week 1-31$weekpos = ceil($day/7); //determine whether it's the 1st, 2nd, ...of the week$theweeknum = $weekposA[$weekpos];$todayweek = date("l");//if($todayweek == "Wednesday")echo "Today is the " . $theweeknum . " " . $todayweek . " of " . $month;[/code]To make it display on Wednesday's only, just uncomment my "if($todayweek == "Wednesday")" out.

AndyB Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 There are always at least four Wednesdays in a month. Sometimes there are five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 to rework extrovertive's response slightly, all you'd have to do to find out which occurrence of the day of the week a certain date is, just run a function like this where you can pass the date to it. then, you've got a very flexible solution that you can use the results in a variety of ways:[code]<?phpfunction getWhichWeek($date = '') { $date = empty($date) ? date('Y-m-d') : $date; // default to today list($year, $month, $day) = explode('-', $date); $res = array( 'day' => date('l', strtotime($date)), 'week' => ceil($day/7) ); switch($res['week']) { case 1: $res['post'] = 'st'; break; case 2: $res['post'] = 'nd'; break; case 3: $res['post'] = 'rd'; break; default: $res['post'] = 'th'; } return $res;}$today = getWhichWeek();echo "Today is the {$today['week']}{$today['post']} {$today['day']} of the month!";?>[/code]have fun with that!
