Re: Reverse of date("w")

Another way to do it would be to store the unix epoch and then just get the weekday name from that? More overhead than Travis's idea, but just as good and you could possibly use the date/time later on. On 9/18/06, Travis Doherty <travis@referable.com> wrote:

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. Any reason you wouldn't write it yourself? <?php function getDayFromInteger($integer) { $days = array('Sun','Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat'); if (isset($days[$integer])) {

      return $days[$integer];
