He wants the third sunday in february which can't be handled by
your code :) since the third sunday could fall on any number of
days. The following isn't very optimal but will work (not syntax
checked either).
$i = 1;
while( $i++ <= 7 )
{
//
// First we find the first Sunday in February.
//
if( date( '%a', mktime( 0,0,0, 2,$i,2002 ) == 'Sun' )
{
break;
}
}
return date( '%s-%m-%Y', mktime( 0,0,0, 2,($i + 14),2002 );
Generalization of the above is left to you as an exercise *grin*.
Cheers,
Rob.
