We going to check age for birthday messages using the same function we’ve used earlier in How to validate date of birth
we are simply going to make a little change to it.
the we added a logic that checks if current day and month matches with the ones in the given date of birth
if so then the wish do whatsoever the developer defines
<?php
function birthday_wish($date){
$dateparameters = array();
$date = preg_replace("/[^0-9\']/", ",", $date);
$date = explode(',', $date);
$wish = '';
if(count($date) == 3){
for ($i = 0; $i < 3; ++$i) {
$dateparameters []= $date[$i];
}
$year = $dateparameters[0];
$month = $dateparameters[1];
$actualmonth = $dateparameters[1];
$actualday = $dateparameters[2];
$actualdate = $year.'-'.$month.'-'.$actualday;
$day = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $month, $year);
$day = range(1, $day); // day range
$month = range(1, 12); // month range
if(in_array($actualday, $day) && in_array($actualmonth, $month)){ //Check if actual month and day is in range of days that should be in the provided month of the given year
//THE BIRTHDAY WISH
if(date('m-d') == ($actualmonth.'-'.$actualday)){
$wish = 1;
}
}
}
return $wish;
}
?>
how to apply it
let’s apply the above function output in our jobs
it’s just by building a simple logic as shown below
<?php
$date= '2010/09/21';
if(birthday_wish($date) == 1){
echo 'Happy birthday to you: <br>You were born on this day '.date('l', strtotime(date('Y-m-d'))).', '.date('dS').' '.date('F', strtotime($date)).' being '.date('l', strtotime($date)).' of same month in the year '.explode('/',$date)[0];
}else{
echo 'Hey: <br>You are not born on this day '.date('l', strtotime(date('Y-m-d'))).', '.date('dS').' '.date('F', strtotime($date)).' '.explode('/',$date)[0];
}
?>
