When Is Thanksgiving?

 <?php

 //This makes the current year a variable

 $first_day = mktime(0,0,0,11, 1, $year) ;

 //We determine what day of the week the first falls on
 $day_of_week = date('D', $first_day) ;

 //Based upon this, we add the appropriate number of days to get to the forth Thursday of the month
