[Resolved] Get day of week from a date variable

[Stench]

I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this, but I have a date stored in a variable, i.e. $start_date, and I want to find what day of the week that date is.

Any pointers would be most appreciated.

thanks, now resolved using...

if(date("l", strtotime($search_date))=='Monday')
