I am working with dates in php but I can not specify something like what I'm looking for, my problem is to be able to visualize the number of weeks in a specific month I hope I was clear and thank you for your help. EXAMPLE:
DEPARTURE:
You can do it this way, using the strftime PHP
function<?php
$date = '2018-03-16';
$firstDay = date('Y-m-01', strtotime($date)); // Tomamos el primer día del mes
$lastDay = date('Y-m-t', strtotime($date)); // Y tomamos el ultimo día del mes
$weeks = array();
// Iteramos sobre todos los días del mes, y agregamos al arreglo las semanas solo si no existen previamente
while ($firstDay < $lastDay) {
$week = strftime('%V', strtotime($firstDay));
if (!in_array($week, $weeks)) {
$weeks[] = strftime('%V', strtotime($firstDay));
}
$firstDay = date ('Y-m-d', strtotime($firstDay . ' +1 day'));
}
?>
In the case of today print:
array (size=5)
0 => string '09' (length=2)
1 => string '10' (length=2)
2 => string '11' (length=2)
3 => string '12' (length=2)
4 => string '13' (length=2)
Your best ally for this would be to use a DateTime object.
Now, in some cases the week starts on Sunday, in others the week starts on Monday.
Let's see an example for each case:
$fecha = new DateTime('first Sunday of this month');
$esteMes = $fecha->format('m');
while ($fecha->format('m') === $esteMes) {
echo $fecha->format('W').PHP_EOL;
$fecha->modify('next Sunday');
}
Exit:
09
10
11
12
$fecha = new DateTime('first Monday of this month');
$esteMes = $fecha->format('m');
while ($fecha->format('m') === $esteMes) {
echo $fecha->format('W').PHP_EOL;
$fecha->modify('next Monday');
}
Exit:
10
11
12
13
Try with:
echo date_format($fecha,"W");
The above prints the number of the week of the date reported in the variable $ date
