corbin Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 $tmp = strtotime('December 1'); echo date('l', $tmp); There might be a math way to do it, which would be faster, but that would work.

kenrbnsn Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 You can use the functions strtotime() and date() <?php echo 'The first day of December, 2007 is a ' . date('l',strtotime('12/1/2007')); // thats a small L not a 1 ?> Ken Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82390-solved-making-calendar-how-do-find-the-first-day-in-the-month/#findComment-418836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJohnsenDK Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 i need to get the number because i need to make blank boxes at the start of the calendar. You know if the 1. of a month is wedensday then the first to boxes (monday and Thusday) cant hold any numbers of that month. watch here for example: http://www.jjwebsites.dk/test/calender/index3.php?page=1 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82390-solved-making-calendar-how-do-find-the-first-day-in-the-month/#findComment-418851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Then you want to use the "w" specifier to the date() function. Read the manual pages I referenced.
