PHP: How to get the days of the week?
- by fwaokda
I'm wanting to store items in my database with a DATE value for a certain day. I don't know how to get the current Monday, or Tuesday, etc. from the current week. Here is my current database setup.
menuentry
id int(10) PK
menu_item_id int(10) FK
day_of_week date
message varchar(255)
So I have a class setup that holds all the info then I was going to do something like this...
foreach ( $menuEntryArray as $item )
{
if ( $item->getDate() == [DONT KNOW WHAT TO PUT HERE] )
{
// code to display menu_item information
}
}
So I'm just unsure what to put in "[DONT KNOW WHAT TO PUT HERE]" to compare to see if the date is specified for this week's Monday, or Tuesday, etc. The foreach above runs for each day of the week - so it'll look like this...
Monday
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Tuesday
Item 1
Wednesday
Item 1
Item 2
...
Thanks!
