My brain is frozen on a convenient way to figure out if today is the
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or last Thursday of the month. Basically I need
something that will figure this out for any given day for any given month.
date() has everything BUT a 0-5 return for this.
I have data from a calendar program that has a day (0-6) and how that
day recurs, 0-5 where 0-5 is as follows:
0-all weeks
1-first occurance of
2-second " "
3-third " "
4-fouth " "
5-last " "
So if an entry has a 2 for recurring (meaning it falls on the second
occurance of that day in the month) and a 4 indicating that day is
"Thursday", I want to be able to figure out what today is, meaning which
Thurday of the month this is, and then ultimately figure out the
difference so I can deterimine the date when the entry next occurs.
Have I confused anyone yet?
