For example – you want to know how many Mondays, Tuesdays etc. are in a specific month and year?
Here’s a simple code that returns an array with desired values.
$days_in_particular_month = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $your_date_month, $your_date_year); $days_of_week_array = array(); for($i = 1; $i <= $days_in_particular_month; $i++) { $day_of_week = date('l', mktime(0, 0, 0, $your_date_month, $i, $your_date_year)); $days_of_week_array[$day_of_week]++; }
As you can see, all you have to set are two variables your_date_month and your_date_year. When you’ll dump days_of_week_array you’ll see for example:
array(7) { ["Saturday"]=> int(5) ["Sunday"]=> int(5) ["Monday"]=> int(4) ["Tuesday"]=> int(4) ["Wednesday"]=> int(4) ["Thursday"]=> int(4) ["Friday"]=> int(4) }
Example shown above is for July 2013. That means that there were four Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays as well as five Saturdays and Sundays.
