Get Day of week for week number in php

Question

How would I go about getting the date of say the 32 Wed of a given year. Is there an easy way to do this that I am missing?

Answer 1

echo date("d m Y", strtotime("2010-W32-3")); 

i think... :p

Edit: W32 is the week number and 3 is the day of the week (1-7)

Or maybe something more complicated like this - its a bit pointless if the above works - but was just thinking of alternatives... I don't know if it would work. :p Just for fun.

echo date("d m Y", strtotime("1-1-2010 + 32 Weeks ".date("N", "Wednesday")." Days"));

maybe, but now I'm clutching at straws ha. :)

Answer 2

It is worth noting, that strtotime() accepts ISO week date format (for example "2008-W27-2" is Tuesday of week 27 in 2008), so it can be easily used to get the date of a given week number.
