calculating day of week

[roach]

howdy!

is there a way to calculate what the day name is from a date that is formatted like so; 2002-10-26?

Like what day was...2001-01-24 =)

I've found all kinds of date functions, but I havent run across one that works for this..

Thanks!!

Hi,

try following:

$date = "2001-01-24";
echo date("l", strtotime($date));

You could have done that too :
$array_date = explode("-",$date);
print($array_date[2]);
