extracting the day name of a selected date?

[far]

I use a javascript popup calendar which outputs the result into a textbox, the next step is to post to get the date selected.

For example, if i select 2007-11-05 from the calendar how can i find the day of the week?

For example 2007-11-05 is on Monday.

Directly from the manual page on php.net/date :

// Prints: July 1, 2000 is on a Saturday
echo "July 1, 2000 is on a " . date("l", mktime(0, 0, 0, 7, 1, 2000));

If the date is in a format readable by [man]strtotime/man (which it would appear to be), you could just do:

echo date('l', strtotim($date));

Thanks guys...
