function findFridayThe13ths($startYear, $endYear) {
    for ($year = $startYear; $year <= $endYear; $year++) {
        for ($month = 1; $month <= 12; $month++) {
            $date = strtotime("$year-$month-13");
            if (date("N", $date) == 5) { // "N" returns day of the week (1 = Monday, 5 = Friday)
                printf("Friday the 13th: %d-%02d-13\n", $year, $month);
            }
        }
    }
}

findFridayThe13ths(2025, 2031);
