Hey If I give php the month and day, how can I get it to figure out which day of the week that date is?

@NogDogAug 30.2007 — You need to know (or assume) the year, too. ?

You could do something like:
[code=php]
$date = '2007/08/30';
$weekday = date('l', strtotime($date)); // note: first arg to date() is lower-case L
[/code]

echo date('N', strtotime("2010-08-09")); // for given date

echo date('N', strtotime("2010-08-09")); // for given date[/QUOTE]

Hmm...did you really need to dig up a 4 years old thread to essentially repeat what I had posted way back then? ?
