Hi,

I need to get back the next Wednesday in following form: "Wednesday
September 20th" and the Wednesday one w

later like: ""Wednesday September
27th" and it should always recalculate on the Tuesday in advance...hm know
what I'm looking for? I've been checking date functions on php.net but just
can't figure out, how i would do this, based on the day, not the date.
I'd appreciate your help!
Thank you!

I only got as far as:
<?php
$today = getdate();
//print_r($today);
echo $today[w

day]."<br>";
echo "Today is: ".$today[w

day].", ".$today[month]."
".$today[mday]."/".$today[year]."<br>"; //print today
echo "next Wednesday is:<br>";
$nWED=3-$today[wday]; // get WED after day number
echo $today[mday]+$nWED;// calculate date
?>
but what if it's next month?or what if $today[wday] is > than 3?
help me please! I'm not getting much further, Thanks!

Yeah, strtotime() does all sorts of nifty stuff. You can always do
something like this:

$ts = strtotime('next Wednesday');
echo date('l F jS', $ts);

I'm not understanding exactly what you want - but this will be a good start
In this example I run a report based on the start of every Monday. And I need to know the specific
date for Monday to run in my query.

$currentMonday = date('D');

// THE NUMBER OF DAYS DIFFERENCE since MONDAY
switch($currentMonday){
case "Mon" :
$now = date('Y-m-d');
break;
case "Tue" :
$now = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,date('m'),date('d')-1,date('Y')));
break;
case "Wed" :
$now = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,date('m'),date('d')-2,date('Y')));
break;
case "Thu" :
$now = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,date('m'),date('d')-3,date('Y')));
break;
case "Fri" :
$now = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,date('m'),date('d')-4,date('Y')));
break;
case "Sat" :
$now = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,date('m'),date('d')-5,date('Y')));
break;
case "Sun" :
$now = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,date('m'),date('d')-6,date('Y')));
break;
}

$now will be alway be date of 'last Monday'

once you know that can also find the date for next Monday...
$x = explode("-", $now);
$nextMonday = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,$x[1],$x[2]+7, $x[0] ));
