hi, i was solving same problem before month and i finished it by this way: select dayname("2003-11-12"), yearweek("2003-11-12"),ADDDATE('2003-01-06', INTERVAL 7*(WEEK('2003-11-12')-1) DAY),ADDDATE('2003-01-06', INTERVAL 7*(WEEK('2003-11-12')-1)+6 DAY);
but there is constant '2003-01-06', that's date of first Monday (Monday because i'm Czech) of first week in a year. There is a lot of ways to number weeks, see WEEK() function . I think it's impossible to get this date (the date of first day of first week) just in query, maybe you can write your own function ;)) But if you are using something like PHP etc., you can simply go throw 6 days before and after your date, and simply check while the week number is same like weeknumber you got from mysql. I hope that it helps you little. `WEEK(date [,mode])' The function returns the week number for `date'. The two-argument form of `WEEK()' allows you to specify whether the week starts on Sunday or Monday and whether the return value should be in the range 0-53 or 1-52. When `mode' argument is omitted the value of a `default_week_format' server variable (or 0 in MySQL 4.0 or earlier) is assumed. *Note SET OPTION::. The following table demonstrates how the `mode' argument works: *Value* *Meaning* 0 Week starts on Sunday; return value range is 0 to 53; week 1 is the first week that starts in this year 1 Week starts on Monday; return value range is 0 to 53; week 1 is the first week that has more than 3 days in this year 2 Week starts on Sunday; return value range is 1 to 53; week 1 is the first week that starts in this year 3 Week starts on Monday; return value range is 1 to 53; week 1 is the first week that has more than 3 days in this year 4 Week starts on Sunday; return value range is 0 to 53; week 1 is the first week that has more than 3 days in this year 5 Week starts on Monday; return value range is 0 to 53; week 1 is the first week that starts in this year 6 Week starts on Sunday; return value range is 1 to 53; week 1 is the first week that has more than 3 days in this year 7 Week starts on Monday; return value range is 1 to 53; week 1 is the first week that starts in this year The `mode' value of 3 can be used as of MySQL 4.0.5. The `mode' value of 4 and above can be used as of MySQL 4.0.17. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trevor Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 26, 2004 12:56 PM Subject: yearweek() result back to date format? > How can I use the output string of the yearweek() function > (for example, "200346" below): > > mysql> select dayname("2003-11-12"), yearweek("2003-11-12"); > +-----------------------+------------------------+ > | dayname("2003-11-12") | yearweek("2003-11-12") | > +-----------------------+------------------------+ > | Wednesday | 200346 | > +-----------------------+------------------------+ > 1 row in set (0.00 sec) > > to extract the start and end dates for that week (for example, "2003-11-09" > and "2003-11-15" above)? > > I'm using server v3.23. > > -- > Trevor Smith | [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- > MySQL General Mailing List > For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql > To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
