mktime() Error

[Limno]

hi All,

echo date("l",mktime (1,0,0,$d[1],$d[2],$d[0]));

its printing "Sunday, 4th January, 2010" but its monday

Can anyone correct this...

Thanks in advance..

there’s probably something wrong with your input. a hardcoded test did output the correct day of the week.

echo date("r", mktime(1,0,0,1,4,2010));
// Mon, 04 Jan 2010 01:00:00 +0100

besides date("l") only returns the weekday, not the whole date.

Still its not working, i am inserting data on one date and i need to display the posted date and its day. Need some suggestion..

Thanks

var_dump($d); (to see, whether you pass the right values)

[Limno]

array(1) { [0]=> string(17) "5th January, 2010" }

its showing this...

[Dormilich]

so you’re missing $d[1] and $d[2] …

[Markus]

Where is the array $d being populated?

[Limno]

$d = explode('-', $row['date']);

var_dump($d[2]);
echo date("l",mktime (0,0,0,$d[1],$d[2],$d[0]));

My code is this, or tell me how to display my date in this format

[Monday, 4th January, 2010]

Thanks.

[Dormilich]

what about

strtotime($row["date"]);

?

a list of output options is listed at the date() manual.

Thank you Dormilich, its working
