Date and Time issues

[ACJavascript]

Hey all,

Okay, I have a problem -
I have links from MONDAY to FRIDAY... and when the user clicks on the link it will send the script a value of 1-5

1 through 5 equals mon,tue,wed,thr,fri...

Now my problem is I need to take that 1-5 and convert it to the DAY its on.

Meaning, today is Saturday(23rd) if they click Monday(Happends to be xmas) it woudl show the date 25th.

Anybody know how I can do this? or a better way to do it?

Here is some code to do this (tested) -

PHP Code:

<?php
$today_day_number = date("w");

echo "Today's day of the week is: $today_day_number (0=Sun, 1=Mon...)";
echo "<br />";

// test loop for possible values 1-5
// $test_value is simulating the value received as input from the form

for($test_value=1; $test_value <=5;$test_value++){

    // if today_day_number is 6 (sat) - make this -1 so difference math works
    if($today_day_number == 6)
    {
    $today_day_number = -1;
    }

    // if test value (1-5) is greater than or equal to today_day_number, then test value is today or higher (coming week or current week)
    // if test value (1-5) is less than today_day_number, day entered has already gone past and is actually the following week (add 7)

    if($test_value >= $today_day_number)
    {
    $difference = $test_value-$today_day_number;
    } else {
    $difference = $test_value-$today_day_number+7;
    }
    echo "Test value: $test_value, Difference: $difference, date: ";
    echo date("d",mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m")  , date("d")+$difference, date("Y"))); // mktime correctly does the math and wraps to the next week/month/year as needed
    echo "<br />";
} // end of test loop for possible values 1-5
?>

I actually tested this within another loop to simulate all the possible values for $today_day_number (0-6) and it looks like it works correctly.
