Not really. If it were always "today" that would work, but in this case, I was thinking of storing a day of the week in a database ("3"), and then display the info based on that digit. So assuming that the number was in fact 3, then:
echo date("D","3");
Would return "Wed".
Is there any function like that? Oh, and it has to run on PHP 4.
