mktime function

[jimfog]

Is there a way i can get the monday of a each week with the mktime function? I am not talking about a specific Monday but for the monday of each week. So far, i have achieved that with this:

$thismonday=date("d",strtotime("previous Monday"));

Can the above outcome be achieved with mktime?

With mktime you use a specific date, not a day of the week. So you would need to know the date of the day you want. You can figure that stuff out by using getdate and figuring out which day and date and certain timestamp refers to.

In my example I gave you

$prevMondayCalc= strtotime ( 'last Monday' , strtotime ( $arg ) ) ;$prevtMonday = date("d-m-Y", $prevMondayCalc);$nextMondayCalc= strtotime ( 'next Monday' , strtotime ( $arg ) ) ;$nextMonday = date("d-m-Y", $nextMondayCalc);

will give you the previous and next monday, whatever current date is shown.

Well, i have already done the above, the problem is this,now-let me explain. In Outlook, when you go to week view what you get is the week from the beginning of it till the end of it(for example, 20-26 February) So the code above(or a variation of it-since "Next Sunday" must be added instead of "next Monday") just, aids in the navigation. Now i have problem in printing in the browser the 20-26 February, and from this point the above code will take control by navigating from week to week. Newdate will not do as it defaults to today's day($newdate = date("d-m-Y");-if you recall.). I tried this first-but it did not work:

date("d", strtotime("previous monday"))

The above does output 20 February, but i when i click this link:

<li><a href=" ' . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ."?newdate=". [color=#000000][size=2]$prevtMonday[/size][/color] . '">previous Week</a><li>

i get again 20 February, however, on 2nd click, i get 13 February. This happens because $newdate = date("d-m-Y");, which is today's date. So, on first click newdate goes from 23 feb to 20. So , the user must click TWICE to go to 13 February Do you understand what the problem is? Sorry if it is a little confusing.

I managed to do it, only time will tell if it proves functional/practical:

$newdate = date("d-m-Y"); $newdate1="previous monday";$leapYear = date("L");setPrevNextDates($newdate,$newdate1);    if (isset($_GET['newdate'])) {  	  $newdate =$_GET['newdate'];	 setPrevNextDates($newdate,$newdate1 );}elseif (isset($_GET['newdate1'])){$newdate=$newdate1 =$_GET['newdate1']; setPrevNextDates($newdate,$newdate1);}  function setPrevNextDates($arg,$arg1)								{	 global  $nextDay, $prevDay,$begweek,$endweek,			 $nextMonth, $timestamp,$cYear,$thismonth ,			 $maxday, $prevMonth,$startday, $nextYear,			 $prevYear,$thismonday,$newdate1, $leapYear;		 $prevDayCalc = strtotime('-1 day', strtotime($arg));	 $prevDay = date("d-m-Y", $prevDayCalc);	 $nextDayCalc = strtotime('+1 day', strtotime($arg));	 $nextDay = date("d-m-Y", $nextDayCalc);	 $prevMonCalc = strtotime('-1 month', strtotime($arg));	 $prevMonth = date("d-m-Y", $prevMonCalc);	 $nextMonCalc = strtotime('+1 month', strtotime($arg));	 $nextMonth = date("d-m-Y", $nextMonCalc);	 $prevYearCalc = strtotime('-1 year', strtotime($arg));	 $prevYear = date("d-m-Y", $prevYearCalc);	 $nextYearCalc = strtotime('+1 year', strtotime($arg));	 $nextYear = date("d-m-Y", $nextYearCalc);		 $begweekCalc=strtotime ( 'previous monday' , strtotime ( $arg1 ) ) ;	 $begweek=date("d-m-Y", $begweekCalc);	 $endweekCalc=strtotime ( 'next sunday' , strtotime ( $arg ) ) ;	 $endweek=date("d-m-Y", $endweekCalc);  		 $LeapYearCalc = strtotime($arg);	 $leapYear = date("L", $LeapYearCalc);	  	if ($leapYear == 1 && date("m", strtotime($arg)) == 2 && date("d", strtotime($arg)) == 29) {		 $prevYearCalc = strtotime('-1 day', strtotime($prevYear));		 $prevYear = date("d-m-Y", $prevYearCalc);		 $nextYearCalc = strtotime('-1 day', strtotime($nextYear));		 $nextYear = date("d-m-Y", $nextYearCalc);	 }} function output_week() {	 global  $monthNames1, $newdate,$begweek,$endweek,$newdate1,$startday,$thismonday;	  echo $newdate;  	  //στο παρακάτω θέλουμε τόσο να ξεκινάει απο την Δευτέρα ο μήνας οσο ΚΑΙ ΑΠΟ ΕΚΕΙΝΟ ΤΟ ΧΡΟΝΙΚΟ ΣΗΜΕΙΟ ΝΑ πηγαίνει στην προηγούμεη εβδομάδα	 echo '<ul id="days">			<li><a href=" ' . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ."?newdate1=". $begweek . '">previous week</a><li>			<li>'. date("d", strtotime($newdate1)). $monthNames1[date("n", strtotime($newdate)) - 1] . '  ' . date("Y", strtotime($newdate)).'</li>						<li><a href=" ' . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ."?newdate1=".$endweek. '">next Week</a><li>		 </ul>';	

I am awaiting your comment-of course is hlafway where i want it to be, but the logic is the same.
