You can use the mktime() function with the pieces of your date to get what you want.

It takes six parameters. They are, in order:
hours, minutes, seconds, month, day, year. It's used like this.

echo ("December 15, 2000 is a " . date ("l", mktime(0,0,0,12,15,2000)));

You should be able to use either a split() or a substr() to parse out the pieces of your date.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, more info.

The mktime function converts the pieces of a date into a UNIX timestamp.

The date function can then pull different info out of the UNIX timestamp.
