PHP, date...

Hi,

I want to get date, just the number of day in month. Then, the month number and replace it with string version.

In VB I would do like this:

Code:

---

Dim Temp As String
Temp = Format(Day, "#") & ". "
Select Case Val(Format(Month, "#"))
    Case 1
        Temp = Temp & "tammi"
    Case 2
        Temp = Temp & "helmi"
    Case 3
        Temp = Temp & "maalis"
    Case 4
        Temp = Temp & "huhti"
    Case 5
        Temp = Temp & "touko"
    Case 6
        Temp = Temp & "kesä"
    Case 7
        Temp = Temp & "heinä"
    Case 8
        Temp = Temp & "elo"
    Case 9
        Temp = Temp & "syys"
    Case 10
        Temp = Temp & "loka"
    Case 11
        Temp = Temp & "marras"
    Case 12
        Temp = Temp & "joulu"
End Select
Temp = Temp & "kuuta"

---

So how I can do this in PHP?

Thanks in advance, reply with e-mail if possible ([email protected]),

you mean something like this,

to get the date and then print it out on the screen

Code:

---

<?
$string = date("[m/d/Y]"); // 6/10/2001

echo" $string";

or

print" (date ("l dS of F Y"))"; // 1st of January 2001


?>

I think something like that will work. is that what you wanted?
it all depends on what format you want

Humm...Well, more likely I would like to know how I could make a wanted number (1 to 12) into a string...Like 1 would be January (tammikuu, we write months lower case). I just want to have the dates in Finnish.

I've seen something like:

"Tammi*Helmi*Maalis*Huhti...etc."

Somekind of array methinks...I just don't understand how it works.

Try this:


Dim i As Integer
Dim fechas As String
i = InputBox("Month number (1/12)")

fechas = "JanFebMarAprJunJulAguSepOctNovDic"

MsgBox Mid(fechas, i * 3 - 2, 3)



Hope this helps :)

PHP, not VB. I just gave an example in VB to show what I want. And I got helped in other thread already. Thanks anyways :rolleyes:
