PHP get number of week for month

Question

So I have a script that returns the number of weeks in a particular month and year. How can I take a specific day from that month and determine if it is part of week 1,2,3,4 or 5 of that month?

Answer 1

The most frustrating thing I have ever tried to get working - but here it is!

<?php

    /**
     * Returns the amount of weeks into the month a date is
     * @param $date a YYYY-MM-DD formatted date
     * @param $rollover The day on which the week rolls over
     */
    function getWeeks($date, $rollover)
    {
        $cut = substr($date, 0, 8);
        $daylen = 86400;

        $timestamp = strtotime($date);
        $first = strtotime($cut . "00");
        $elapsed = ($timestamp - $first) / $daylen;

        $weeks = 1;

        for ($i = 1; $i <= $elapsed; $i++)
        {
            $dayfind = $cut . (strlen($i) < 2 ? '0' . $i : $i);
            $daytimestamp = strtotime($dayfind);

            $day = strtolower(date("l", $daytimestamp));

            if($day == strtolower($rollover))  $weeks ++;
        }

        return $weeks;
    }


    //
    echo getWeeks("2011-06-11", "sunday"); //outputs 2, for the second week of the month
?>

Answer 2

Edit: so much for "single line" - needed variables to avoid recomputation with the conditional. Tossed in a default argument while I was at it.

function weekOfMonth($when = null) {
    if ($when === null) $when = time();
    $week = date('W', $when); // note that ISO weeks start on Monday
    $firstWeekOfMonth = date('W', strtotime(date('Y-m-01', $when)));
    return 1 + ($week < $firstWeekOfMonth ? $week : $week - $firstWeekOfMonth);
}

Please note that weekOfMonth(strtotime('Oct 31, 2011')); will return 6; some rare months have 6 weeks in them, contrary to OP's expectation. January 2017 is another month with 6 ISO weeks - Sunday the 1st falls in the last year's week, since ISO weeks start on Monday.

For starshine531, to return a 0 indexed week of the month, change the return 1 + to return 0 + or return (int).

For Justin Stayton, for weeks starting on Sunday instead of Monday I would use strftime('%U' instead of date('W', as follows:

function weekOfMonth($when = null) {
    if ($when === null) $when = time();
    $week = strftime('%U', $when); // weeks start on Sunday
    $firstWeekOfMonth = strftime('%U', strtotime(date('Y-m-01', $when)));
    return 1 + ($week < $firstWeekOfMonth ? $week : $week - $firstWeekOfMonth);
}

For this version, 2017-04-30 is now in week 6 of April, while 2017-01-31 is now in week 5.

Answer 3

public function getWeeks($timestamp)
{
    $maxday    = date("t",$timestamp);
    $thismonth = getdate($timestamp);
    $timeStamp = mktime(0,0,0,$thismonth['mon'],1,$thismonth['year']);    //Create time stamp of the first day from the give date.
    $startday  = date('w',$timeStamp);    //get first day of the given month
    $day = $thismonth['mday'];
    $weeks = 0;
    $week_num = 0;

    for ($i=0; $i<($maxday+$startday); $i++) {
        if(($i % 7) == 0){
            $weeks++;
        }
        if($day == ($i - $startday + 1)){
            $week_num = $weeks;
        }
      }     
    return $week_num;
}

Hello all i have been struggling for the whole day trying to figure this code out, i finally figured it out so i thought i would share it with you all.

all you need to do is put a time stamp into the function and it will return the week number back to you.

thanks

Answer 4

This is a solution based on sberry's mathematical solution but using the PHP DateTime class instead.

function week_of_month($date) {
    $first_of_month = new DateObject($date->format('Y/m/1'));
    $day_of_first = $first_of_month->format('N');
    $day_of_month = $date->format('j');
    return floor(($day_of_first + $day_of_month - 1) / 7) + 1;
}

Answer 5

there is a problem with this method. if the passing date (Lets say 2012/01/01 which is a Sunday) and "$rollover" day is "Sunday", then this function will return 2. where its actually is 1'st week. i think i have fixed it in following function. please add comments to make it better.

function getWeeks($date, $rollover)
{
    $cut        = substr($date, 0, 8);
    $daylen     = 86400;
    $timestamp  = strtotime($date);
    $first      = strtotime($cut . "01");   
    $elapsed    = (($timestamp - $first) / $daylen)+1;
    $i          = 1;
    $weeks      = 0;
    for($i==1; $i<=$elapsed; $i++)
    {
        $dayfind        = $cut . (strlen($i) < 2 ? '0' . $i : $i);
        $daytimestamp   = strtotime($dayfind);
        $day            = strtolower(date("l", $daytimestamp));
        if($day == strtolower($rollover))
        {
            $weeks++;  
        }
    } 
    if($weeks==0)
    {
        $weeks++; 
    }
    return $weeks;  
}

Answer 6

Just Copy and Past the code and pass month and year.

e.g month=04 year=2013.

That's exactly what You Need.

$mm= $_REQUEST['month'];
$yy= $_REQUEST['year'];
$startdate=date($yy."-".$mm."-01") ;
$current_date=date('Y-m-t');
$ld= cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $mm, $yy);
$lastday=$yy.'-'.$mm.'-'.$ld;
$start_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($startdate));
$end_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($lastday));
$end_date1 = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($lastday." + 6 days"));
$count_week=0;
$week_array = array();

for($date = $start_date; $date <= $end_date1; $date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date. ' + 7 days')))
{
    $getarray=getWeekDates($date, $start_date, $end_date);
echo "<br>";
$week_array[]=$getarray;
    echo "\n";
$count_week++;

}

// its give the number of week for the given month and year
echo $count_week;
//print_r($week_array);

function getWeekDates($date, $start_date, $end_date)
{
    $week =  date('W', strtotime($date));
    $year =  date('Y', strtotime($date));
    $from = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("{$year}-W{$week}+1"));
    if($from < $start_date) $from = $start_date;

    $to = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("{$year}-W{$week}-6")); 
    if($to > $end_date) $to = $end_date;

$array1 = array(
        "ssdate" => $from,
        "eedate" => $to,
);

return $array1;

   // echo "Start Date-->".$from."End Date -->".$to;
}

for($i=0;$i<$count_week;$i++)
{   
$start= $week_array[$i]['ssdate'];
echo "--";

$week_array[$i]['eedate'];
echo "<br>";
}

OUTPUT:

week( 0 )=>2013-03-01---2013-03-02

week( 1 )=>2013-03-03---2013-03-09

week( 2 )=>2013-03-10---2013-03-16

week( 3 )=>2013-03-17---2013-03-23

week( 4 )=>2013-03-24---2013-03-30

week( 5 )=>2013-03-31---2013-03-31

Answer 7

For a Monday-Sunday (ISO 8601) week (or, if you simply don't care), you can do this in one line:

function get_week_of_month($date) {
 return date('W', $date) - date('W', strtotime(date("Y-m-01", $date))) + 1;
}

(Source)

For anything else, (e.g. a Sunday-Saturday week), you just need to tweak $date inside the function:

function get_week_of_month($date) {
 $date += 86400; //For weeks starting on Sunday
 return date('W', $date) - date('W', strtotime(date("Y-m-01", $date))) + 1;
}

(Thanks to these guys/gals)

NOTE: You may run into some issues at the end of the year (e.g. around 12/31, 1/1, etc.). Read more here.

Answer 8

I think I found an elegant solution

$time = time(); // or whenever
$week_of_the_month = ceil(date('d', $time)/7);

Answer 9

This is the snippet that I made to fulfill my requirements for the same. Hope this will help you.

    function getWeek($timestamp) {
     $week_year = date('W',$timestamp);
     $week = 0;//date('d',$timestamp)/7;
     $year = date('Y',$timestamp);
     $month = date('m',$timestamp);
     $day = date('d',$timestamp);
     $prev_month = date('m',$timestamp) -1;
    if($month != 1 ){
        $last_day_prev = $year."-".$prev_month."-1";
        $last_day_prev = date('t',strtotime($last_day_prev));
        $week_year_last_mon = date('W',strtotime($year."-".$prev_month."-".$last_day_prev));
        $week_year_first_this = date('W',strtotime($year."-".$month."-1"));
        if($week_year_first_this == $week_year_last_mon){
            $week_diff = 0;
        }
        else{
            $week_diff = 1;
        }
        if($week_year ==1 && $month == 12 ){
        // to handle December's last two days coming in first week of January
            $week_year = 53;
        }
        $week = $week_year-$week_year_last_mon + 1 +$week_diff;
    }
    else{
     // to handle first three days January coming in last week of December.
        $week_year_first_this = date('W',strtotime($year."-01-1"));
        if($week_year_first_this ==52 || $week_year_first_this ==53){
            if($week_year == 52 || $week_year == 53){
                $week =1;
            }
            else{
                $week = $week_year + 1;
            }
        }
        else{
            $week = $week_year;
        }
    }
    return $week;
}

Answer 10

Here comes two liner:

function getWeekOfMonth(DateTime $date) {
    $firstDayOfMonth = new DateTime($date->format('Y-m-1'));

    return ceil(($firstDayOfMonth->format('N') + $date->format('j') - 1) / 7);
}

And Wtower's solutions doesn't work 100% properly.

Answer 11

This is probably not a good way to do this but it's my first thought and I'm really tired.

Put all your dates into an array. The date object must have a day name (Monday). Create a method that searches the array and when ever you hit a Sunday you add 1 to a week counter. Once you find the date you're looking for return the week counter. That is the week the day falls in of the year. For the week in the month you have to reset the week counter every time you get to the last day in each month.

Answer 12

Thought I'd share my function as well. This returns an array of weeks. Every week is an array with weeks day (0..6) as key and months day (1..31) as value.

Function assumes that week starts with Sunday.

Enjoy!

function get_weeks($year, $month){

    $days_in_month = date("t", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 1, $year));
    $weeks_in_month = 1;
    $weeks = array();

    //loop through month
    for ($day=1; $day<=$days_in_month; $day++) {

        $week_day = date("w", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year));//0..6 starting sunday

        $weeks[$weeks_in_month][$week_day] = $day;

        if ($week_day == 6) {
            $weeks_in_month++;
        }

    }

    return $weeks;

}

Answer 13

My 5 cents:

/**
* calculate number of weeks in a particular month
*/
function weeksInMonth($month=null,$year=null){

    if( null==($year) ) {
        $year =  date("Y",time());  
    }

    if(null==($month)) {
        $month = date("m",time());
    }

    // find number of days in this month
    $daysInMonths =  date('t',strtotime($year.'-'.$month.'-01'));

    $numOfweeks = ($daysInMonths%7==0?0:1) + intval($daysInMonths/7);

    $monthEndingDay= date('N',strtotime($year.'-'.$month.'-'.$daysInMonths));

    $monthStartDay = date('N',strtotime($year.'-'.$month.'-01'));

    if($monthEndingDay<$monthStartDay){

        $numOfweeks++;

    }

    return $numOfweeks;
}

Answer 14

I create this function, from brazil :) I hope it is useful

function weekofmonth($time) {

    $firstday       = 1;
    $lastday        = date('j',$time);
    $lastdayweek = 6; //Saturday

    $week = 1;
    for ($day=1;$day<=$lastday;$day++) {
        $timetmp = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('n',$time), $day, date('Y',$time));
        if (date('N',$timetmp) == $lastdayweek) {
            $week++;
        }
    }
    if (date('N',$time)==$lastdayweek) {
        $week--;
    }

    return $week;
}

$time = mktime(0, 0, 0, 9, 30, 2014);
echo weekofmonth($time);

Answer 15

Srahul07's solution works perfectly... If you abide by the Monday-Sunday week system! Here in 'murica, non-business folk tend to go by Sunday-Saturday being a week, so May 1, 2011 is week 1 and May 2, 2011 is still week 1.

Adding the following logic to the bottom of his function, right before it returns $week will convert this to a Sunday -> Monday system:

if (!date('w',strtotime("$year-$month-01")) && date('w',$timestamp))
    $week--;
elseif (date('w',strtotime("$year-$month-01")) && !date('w',$timestamp))
    $week++;

Answer 16

I found a easy way to determine what week of the month today is in, and it would be a small change to have it work on any other date. I'm adding my two cents in here as I think my way is much more compact then the methods listed.

$monthstart = date("N",strtotime(date("n/1/Y")));
$date =( date("j")+$monthstart ) /7;
$ddate= floor( $date );
if($ddate != date) {$ddate++;}

and $ddate contains the week number you could modify it like so

function findweek($indate)
{
  $monthstart = date("N",strtotime(date("n/1/Y",strtotime($indate))));
  $date =( date("j",strtotime($indate))+$monthstart ) /7;
  $ddate= floor( $date );
  if($ddate != $date) {$ddate++;}
  return $ddate;
}

and it would return what week of the month any date you give it is. what it does is first find the number of days from the start of the week to the first of the month. then adds that on to the current date then divides the new date by 7 and that will give you how many weeks have passed since the start of the month, including a decimal place for the part of the the current week that has passed. so what I do next is round down that number, then compare the rounded down version to the original if the two match your at the end of the week so it's already in the number. if they don't then just add one to the rounded down number and voila you have the current week number.

Answer 17

After alot of efoort i found the solution

<?php

function getWeeks($month,$year)
{
    $month = intval($month);        //force month to single integer if '0x'
    $suff = array('st','nd','rd','th','th','th');       //week suffixes
    $end = date('t',mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year));      //last date day of month: 28 - 31
    $start = date('w',mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year));    //1st day of month: 0 - 6 (Sun - Sat)
    $last = 7 - $start;                     //get last day date (Sat) of first week
    $noweeks = ceil((($end - ($last + 1))/7) + 1);      //total no. weeks in month
    $output = "";                       //initialize string     
    $monthlabel = str_pad($month, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
    for($x=1;$x<$noweeks+1;$x++)
    {   
        if($x == 1)
        {
            $startdate = "$year-$monthlabel-01";
            $day = $last - 6;
        }
        else
        {
            $day = $last + 1 + (($x-2)*7);
            $day = str_pad($day, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
            $startdate = "$year-$monthlabel-$day";
        }
        if($x == $noweeks)
        {
            $enddate = "$year-$monthlabel-$end";

        else
        {
            $dayend = $day + 6;
            $dayend = str_pad($dayend, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
            $enddate = "$year-$monthlabel-$dayend";

Answer 19

I really liked @michaelc's answer. However, I got stuck on a few points. It seemed that every time Sunday rolled around, there was an offset of one. I think it has to do with what day of the week is the start of the week. In any case, here is my slight alteration to it, expanded a bit for readability:

function wom(\DateTime $date) {
    // The week of the year of the current month
    $cw = date('W', $date->getTimestamp());

    // The week of the year of the first of the given month
    $fw = date('W',strtotime(date('Y-m-01',$date->getTimeStamp())));

    // Offset
    $o = 1;

    // If it is a Saturday, offset by two.
    if( date('N',$date->getTimestamp()) == 7 ) {
        $o = 2;
    }

    return $cw -$fw + $o;
}

So if the date is Nov. 9, 2013...

$cw = 45
$fw = 44

and with the offset of 1, it correctly returns 2.

If the date is Nov. 10, 2013, $cw and $fw are the same as before, but the offset is 2, and it correctly returns 3.

Answer 20

I found this online: http://kcwebprogrammers.blogspot.de/2009/03/current-week-in-month-php.html

He has a very simple solution which seems to work fine for me.

$currentWeek = ceiling((date("d") - date("w") - 1) / 7) + 1;

So for example:

$now = strtotime("today");
$weekOfMonth = ceil((date("d", $now) - date("w", $now) - 1) / 7) + 1;

Answer 21

you can use W in newer php versions. http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

i have used it like so:

function getWeek($date) { 
$month_start=strtotime("1 ".date('F Y',$date));
$current_date=strtotime(date('j F Y',$date));

$month_week=date("W",$month_start);
$current_week=date("W",$current_date);
return ($current_week-$month_week);

}//0 is the week of the first.

Answer 22

Short and foolproof:

// Function accepts $date as a string,
// Returns the week number in which the given date falls.
// Assumed week starts on Sunday.
function wom($date) {
  $date = strtotime($date);
  $weeknoofday = date('w', $date);
  $day = date('j', $date);
  $weekofmonth = ceil(($day + (7-($weeknoofday+1))) / 7);
  return $weekofmonth;
}
// Test
foreach (range(1, 31) as $day) {
    $test_date = "2015-01-" . str_pad($day, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
    echo "$test_date - ";
    echo wom($test_date) . "\n";
}

Answer 23

I use this simple function:

function weekNumberInMonth($timestampDate)
{
    $firstDayOfMonth = strtotime(date('01-M-Y 00:00:00', $timestampDate));
    $firstWeekdayOfMonth = date( 'w', $firstDayOfMonth);
    $dayNumberInMonth = date('d', $timestampDate);
    $weekNumberInMonth = ceil(($dayNumberInMonth + $firstWeekdayOfMonth) / 7);
    return $weekNumberInMonth;
}

Answer 24

if I understand correct, the question is how to identify what number of week within a month of a specific day... I was looking for similar solution. I used some ideas of above answers to develop my own solution. Hope it can be helpful for somebody. If Yes, then UpVote my answer.

function week_number_within_month($datenew){

        $year =  date("Y",strtotime($datenew));  
        $month = date("m",strtotime($datenew));

    // find number of days in this month
    $daysInMonths =  date('t',strtotime($year.'-'.$month.'-01'));
    $numOfweeks = ($daysInMonths%7==0?0:1) + intval($daysInMonths/7);
    $monthEndingDay= date('N',strtotime($year.'-'.$month.'-'.$daysInMonths));
    $monthStartDay = date('N',strtotime($year.'-'.$month.'-01'));
    if($monthEndingDay<$monthStartDay){
        $numOfweeks++;
    }
    $date=date('Y/m/d', strtotime($year.'-'. $month.'-01'));
    $week_array=Array();
    for ($i=1; $i<=$numOfweeks; $i++){   /// create an Array of all days of month separated by weeks as a keys
            $max = 7;

Answer 25

function getWeekOfMonth(\DateTime $date)
{
    $firstWeekdayOfMonth = new DateTime("first weekday 0 {$date->format('M')} {$date->format('Y')}");
    $offset = $firstWeekdayOfMonth->format('N')-1;
    return intval(($date->format('j') + $offset)/7)+1;
}

Answer 26

/**
         * In case of Week we can get the week of year. So whenever we will get the week of the month then we have to
         * subtract the until last month weeks from it will give us the current month week.
         */
        $dateComponents = getdate();

        if($dateComponents['mon'] == 1)
            $weekOfMonth = date('W', strtotime($dateComponents['year'].'-'.$dateComponents['mon'].'-'.$dateComponents['mday']))-1; // We subtract -1 to map it to the array
        else
            $weekOfMonth = date('W', strtotime($dateComponents['year'].'-'.$dateComponents['mon'].'-'.$dateComponents['mday']))-date('W', strtotime($dateComponents['year'].'-'.$dateComponents['mon'].'-01'));

Answer 27

Using Carbon:

$date = Carbon::now(); $d1 = $date->startOfMonth(); $d2 = $date->endOfMonth();

$weeks = $d1->diffInWeeks($d2);

Answer 28

If you clearly want to separate a month into 4 Weeks, you can use this function. This is helpful, if you want

• "the first monday of month"
• "the third thursday of month" etc.

Here we go

/**
* This Calculates (and returns) the week number within a month, based on date('j') day of month.
* This is useful, if you want to have (for instance) the first Thu in month, regardless of date
* @param $Timestamp
* @return float|int
*/
function getWeekOfMonth($Timestamp)
{
    $DayOfMonth=date('j', $Timestamp); // Day of the month without leading zeros 0-31

    if($DayOfMonth>21) return 4;
    if($DayOfMonth>14) return 3;
    if($DayOfMonth>7) return 2;
    return 1;
}

Answer 29

From carbon:

return (int) ceil((new Datetime())->format('d') / 7);

As simple as possible :)
