Determine holidays

[dc2000]

Hi everyone:

 

 

I'm new to this forum, so please bear with me. I'm trying to write a small script to determine US holidays and change the site logo accordingly (pretty much like Google does). The problem happens with some US holidays, like Thanksgiving, that occurs on the 4th Thursday in November. How can I compute that?

 

Here's my code snippet so far:

$tm = time();
$month = int(date("n", $tm));
$day = int(date("j", $tm));
$weekday = int(date("w", $tm));

if($month == 11)
{
    //Month of November
    //Now I have to see if it is 4th Thursday of the month???
}

if($today==$vip_day){

echo "It that specil day agin!";
}else{
echo" this is a bad day";
}

Thank you, redarrow, but what you did - you hardcoded the day for this year. As you can imagine the 4th Thursday in November falls on different days.
