I’m using PHP and MySQL. I have a page that displays meetings created by people with a link to view details. Right now I’m using just a simple table to display everything sorted by date. The table in the database is called ‘meetings’ and there are 3 columns –
‘meetingid’ (int)
‘time’ (datetime)
‘creator’ (text)
My problem is that it looks a little messy and difficult to read when there are quite a few meetings created since they are all in just one big clump. I’d like to split them up by week (starting Monday, ending Sunday – or Sunday-Saturday if that’s easier). I’ve linked to a doc at the bottom showing what I currently have (first page) and something more like what I want (second page). The week labels (ex. September 3rd – September 9th) would need to only go on for as long as there are meetings booked. So, if the latest meeting is October 7th then the last week shown should be ‘October 1st – October 7th’. Figuring out how to separate them by month seems easy enough but I can’t wrap my head around how to do it by week. I’m assuming that there’s some php date function that will help greatly with this but I can’t find it. Hoping you all can help.
What is the best way to do this?
I haven’t decided yet whether or not I’d want the weeks where there are no meetings to show the week label or not. (Ex. There are no meetings between September 10th – September 16th. – so do or do not show that label.

Use date(“W”) to get the week number of the year.Then you can separate your results according to the week number.
