[RESOLVED] Finding the day of the week

[Rulkster]

Hi,

I know i can find the day of the week for today by doing:

$day_of_week = date("D",mktime());

But what if the date I want to find is not todays date but in a variable say $current_date

??

Thanks

$current_date = '2004-01-01';
$day_of_week = date('D', strtotime($current_date));

[man]strtotime[/man] can handle most date formats.
