Sort Alternative/bi-monthly

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi all,

Am going mad trying to get something to work.

I'm creating a CMS for a magazine. The magazine is published every 2 months and therefore the edition is nov-dec or jan-feb etc.

I've an archive option on the site and rather than listing:
dec
nov
oct
sept etc

I'd like to follow the magazine editions:
nov-dec
sept-oct

The code I have so far is:


echo '<p>Sort By:</p>';

$year = date("Y"); //get the current year
$startDate = "1 january".$year; // set the end date to current year
function printMonths($var)
{

$start = strtotime($var); //timestamp of the entered date
$now = strtotime("Now"); //timestamp of now so it does not write anything in the future
while ($now > $start) //while the start is less than now
{
echo '<a href="news_archive.php?s=&id=' . get_id() . '&month=' . date("F", $now) .'">'.date("F", $now).'</a>';
echo " | ";
$now = strtotime("-1 month", $now); // subtract a month from the start timestamp
}
}
printMonths($startDate); //execute the function

this works well listing the months from the current month back. But this is not what I need. If I alter the line

$now = strtotime("-1 month", $now);

to

$now = strtotime("-2 month", $now);

It starts in Nov and goes back to sept which is not right. It also doesn't show nov-dec etc.

Any help on this is much appreciated
