php date format

[chrisleon]

I have a date like 2002-12-12 and I would like to run a function that would give me what day of the week it is? Does anyone know.

Read up on the date() function in the manual -

$date = '2002-12-12';

// convert date string to a timestamp
$date = strtotime ($date);

// format the timestamp
$date = date("l",$date);

Hope this helps 😉
