$month = 3;
$year = 2008;

for ($day = 31; $day >= 21; $day--) { // maximum of 7 days, but
february starts at 28

$tmp_time = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);

if (date('w', $tmp_time) === '5') { // 5 = friday

return date('d-m-Y', $tmp_time);
// return $day.'-'.$month.'-'.$year; // without the function
it is faster off course
// echo 'Yeah, friday!';
}
}

Something similar worked for me to find out when daylight saving time is.
