K - given a month and year of $month, $year: (not really much prettier
than a loop...)
function num_fridays($month, $year)
{
$fdom = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 1, $year);
$wday = date("w", $fdom); // get weekday
if ($wday > 5 or $wday < 3) // 5 Fridays impossible.
return 4;
$lday = date("t", $fdom); // get number of days in the month
$buffer = $lday - 28;
if ($wday >= (5 - $buffer) and ($wday <= 5))
return 5;
else
return 4;
}
This worked for me on a couple test months.
