Echo W/C dates

[leachus2002]

Hi There,

 

I am trying to create a table, and accross the top I would like the Week Commencing Dates of the last 5 weeks. So for example:

 

<table>

<tr><td>07/02</td><td>31/01</td><td>24/01</td><td>17/01</td><td>10/01</td></tr>

</table>

 

Can anyone help?

 

Cheers

Matt

Hi Ken,

 

I am not sure where to start - I am happy with dates and all, but not sure how to get just Monday dates etc etc.

 

Cheers

When playing with dates, I like to use strtotime in combination with date. Other people like to use other functions.

 

Try:

<?php
$dates = array();
$start = (date('l') == 'Monday')?time():strtotime('last monday');
$add7days = 86400 * 7;
for ($i = 0;$i < 5;++$i) {
  $dates[$i] = date('d/m',$start + ($i * $add7days));
}
echo '<table><tr><td>' . implode('</td><td>',$dates) . '</td></tr></table>';
?>

Hi Ken,

 

That's great, just what I need - however it is giving me the next 5 weeks, rather than the last 5 - is that easy to change?

 

Thanks

I guess you really should read up on for-loops...

 

Try changing ++ in --

Or: start at -5 and then ++ until you reach 0...
