[SOLVED] php4 version of date("N") help

[jammesz]

I made a calendar script that relies on the date("N") to tell the numeric representation of the day of the week. But the problem is that it doesn't work on php4 as it was added in php5.

 

Is there a way around this???

i think your after

 

$weekday = date("d"); 

[jammesz]

no as that gives the day of the month, i want the day of the week

[adam291086]

so you want mon, tue, wed, thur, fri, sat, sun to be represented as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

[jammesz]

yea, exactly wat date("N") does

[adam291086]

not sure on this one but you could try this

$weekday = date("D"); 

switch ($weekday) {
case "Mon":
   $weekday=1;
   break;
case "Tue":
       $weekday=2;
   break;
case "Wed":
   $weekday=3;
   break;
}
