Um ... can anyone point me to somewhere that it explains this ... I am trying to convert a "int" (1 through 7) to a day name (Monday through Friday) while in a loop with mysql results

What happened to the weekend? I'd hate to lose the weekend!!

I have tried $day = date('w', $day); But this does not seem to work ... can anyone assist?

That's because the date function expects a timestamp. What you want is an array, nothing more complicated than that. $days = array(1 => 'Monday',

              2 => 'Tuesday',
              3 => 'Wednesday',
              4 => 'Thursday',
              5 => 'Friday',
              6 => 'Saturday',
              7 => 'Sunday');

$day = $days[$day]; -Stut
