Way to find a weekday from a date & time value Assuming you want weekday... A crude yet sophisticated way. //hold your date & time in a string $dtime='2004-04-02 12:59:39'; //now trim any leading & trailing spaces $dtime=trim($dtime); //seperate the date & time based on space in between list($date,$time)=explode('',$dtime); //Now get the peices of date for timestamp generation list($year,$month,$day)=explode('-',$date); //now make a timestamp $stamp=mktime (0,0,0,$month,$day,$year); //now get the week day in full format like 'Saturday..', you want from the stamp and date() function. use 'D' as parameter to date() function if you want short 3 letter style weekdays. $wday=date('l',$stamp); Thanks, Suneel Kanuri, http://jmanage.coolguide.net http://rina.coolguide.net ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+44513 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+44513&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+44513&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
