day variable to echo value

[mystrymaster]

I don't think tha title really shows what I want but hopefully it comes close

I want to get the current date and then assign another variable to equal the value of the variable taht matches the current day.

Basically I want $Saturday to equal a set of email addresses and then $Sunday to equal another set and so on.

I want to get the current day which I get with date(l);
and then use that value to set $day = $ (value of date(l)

And then use that as my to field in an automotic emailer.

Does this make any sense to anyone?

I know I can do this with an if else statement but I figure there has to be a way for it to be done dyanmically.

Anyone

I'm really quite confused from your post, but if you want $day to equal the current day, use this:

$day = date("l");

Basically I want $Saturday to equal a set of email addresses and then $Sunday to equal another set and so on

I have no idea what you want to do there. Could you elaborate a bit more?

I was afraid of the confusion

Alright I want $day to store the name of the day via the date(l) command.

Then I want to establish a variable $email to equal the value of the currently selected day stored day

So as an example this code doesn't work but what I want to happen

$Saturday = "[e-mail],[e-mail]";
$Sunday = "[e-mail],[e-mail]";

etc.....
Then I want to send out a mail to the right set of people based on the day so....

$day = date(l);
$email = value of $day + the $

so who would actually be a pointer to $Saturday or $Sunday etc...

That way I can have the page automatically email the correct set of people based on the day with this

$to = $email;
mail($to, $subject, $message);

I hope that clears it up a bit
