    Hello. I want to show all the saturdays of this month, I tried the following code but its not working, can somebody help me?

    
$dtFirstDay = date("j/n/Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m") , date("d")-date("d")+1, date("Y")));

$dtLastDay = date("j/n/Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m")+1 , date("d")-date("d"), date("Y"))); 

    for($date = $dbFirstDay ; $date < $dtLastDay; $date = mktime(0,0,0,date("m", $date),date("d", $date)+1,date("Y", $date))){
        if(date('w' ,$date) == 0){
            echo $date;
        }

        }
    PHP:

    <?php
//$total_days = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, date('m'), date('Y'));
$total_days = date('t',strtotime('today'));

$day_nums = range(1, $total_days);

$dates = array();
$i = 0;
foreach($day_nums as $num){
$i++;
$dates[$i] = $num.' '.date('M').' '.date('Y');
}

$strdates = array();
$i = 0;
foreach($dates as $date){
$i++;
$strdates[$i] = strtotime($date);
}

$saturdays = array();
$i = 0;
foreach($strdates as $strdate){
$strdate_info = getdate($strdate);
if ($strdate_info['weekday'] == "Saturday"){
$i++;
$saturdays[$i] = $strdate_info['mday'].' '.date('M').' '.date('Y');
}
}

//returns an array of saturdays with their date numbers...
print_r($saturdays);

?>
    PHP:
    Could have been done another way, but this is what I could think of.

    I had a little look around too... very basic but you might find it useful, it will echo out the next 4 Saturdays

    
<?php
echo date('l jS F (Y-m-d)', strtotime('this Saturday'));
echo '<br />';
echo date('l jS F (Y-m-d)', strtotime('next Saturday'));
echo '<br />';
echo date('l jS F (Y-m-d)', strtotime('third Saturday'));
echo '<br />';
echo date('l jS F (Y-m-d)', strtotime('fourth Saturday'));
?>
    PHP:
    Equals:
    Saturday 15th May (2010-05-15)
    Saturday 22nd May (2010-05-22)
    Saturday 5th June (2010-06-05)
    Saturday 12th June (2010-06-12)

    or this

    
<?php
echo date('l jS F', strtotime('this Saturday'));
echo '<br />';
echo date('l jS F', strtotime('next Saturday'));
echo '<br />';
echo date('l jS F', strtotime('third Saturday'));
echo '<br />';
echo date('l jS F', strtotime('fourth Saturday'));
?>
    PHP:
    Equals:
    Saturday 15th May
    Saturday 22nd May
    Saturday 5th June
    Saturday 12th June
