[SOLVED] number of days in month

[corillo181]

is the only way to find out  the number of days in a month is using this functions?

 

cal_days_in_month

http://www.php.net/date ; date("t") in combination with http://www.php.net/mktime to get days in a defined month or just date("t") for days in current month.

 

//defined month July
echo date("t", mktime(0, 0, 0, 7, 0, 0));

//current month
echo date("t");

@hostfreak

 

//defined month July

echo date("t", mktime(0, 0, 0, 7, 0, 0));

 

Day 0 of a month is actually the last day of the previous month, so the code above gives 30 - the number of days in June.

 

Use

//defined month July
echo date("t", mktime(0, 0, 0, 7, 1, 0));

Ah, thanks for the info Barand.

BTW that does give an alternative way of getting the number of days in June, rather than July.

 

i.e. get day for day 0 of following month

 

<?php

//defined month June

echo date("d", mktime(0, 0, 0, 7, 0, 0));

 

?>

i tried

 

echo date("t",mktime(0,0,0,2,0,07));

 

for January and it gives me 31 dates for every other thing it either gives me 31 or 30

<?php
echo "For the year ". date("Y"). "<br/>";
$year = date("Y"); // current year
for ($m=1;$m<12;$m++) {;
    echo date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$m,1,$year)). " has ";
    echo date("t",mktime(0,0,0,$m,0,$year));
echo " days<br/>";
}
?>

No, but they were well-deserved.
