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);
