day of the week

[Anon]

Could someone tell me how to convert a string from like "2000-10-13" into the correct day of the week, in this case Friday.

Thanks

[Anon]

do this:

date("l");

Thanks, that gets me today's date. But what I need is to take a string like this: "2000-10-13" and get the day of the week.

Thanks,

Split the string apart on the '-', then use mktime() to convert
the individual date components into a date serial number, which
you can then use with date() as a second argument.

or simply have a look at the date() command in the manual...

Thanks but I have. Having found examples of everything except what I needed I asked for help.
