Find day of week from date...

[novemberGrey]

Hey If I give php the month and day, how can I get it to figure out which day of the week that date is?

You need to know (or assume) the year, too. :)

You could do something like:

$date = '2007/08/30';
$weekday = date('l', strtotime($date)); // note: first arg to date() is lower-case L

[manojdashmca]

echo date('N', strtotime(date("Y-m-d"))); //for current date
echo date('N', strtotime("2010-08-09")); // for given date

[NogDog]

echo date('N', strtotime(date("Y-m-d"))); //for current date
echo date('N', strtotime("2010-08-09")); // for given date

Hmm...did you really need to dig up a 4 years old thread to essentially repeat what I had posted way back then? :confused:
