Script to figure out if it"s a weekend

am 07.01.2008 23:17:34 von ysoussov

Hey does anyone know of an easy script to use to figure out whether
the current date is a weekend or not, i currently have a script that
returns the current date and time. Also it would be great if it could
take into account holidays.

|gregoriantojd($month, $day, $year) % 7 = $day_of_the_week // Monday = 0|

L.U.D.I.C.R.O.U.S !!!

$dateInfo = getdate(date());
$isWeekend = in_array($dateInfo['wday], array(0, 6));

using substr is rediculous. 'domingo' is sunday and is ONE reason your
suggestion blows.

forgot about modulus!

$dateInfo = getdate(date());
$isWeekend = $dateInfo['wday'] % 6 == 0;

that is faster than in_array. good catch.
