[RESOLVED] How to find the day name from a date...Please help...

[pradee]

Hi!

Can someone please let me know how to figure out the day (of the week e.g. Sunday, Monday, etc.) from a given date (e.g. 2005/09/20)?

I will very much appreciate it if someone can help me.

Thanks & regards,

Pradee.

Pradee, I think this will work:

<?php
$date_string = "2005/09/20";
$basedate = strtotime($date_string);
$date = date("l",$basedate);
echo $date; // echoes: "Tuesday"
?>
