Subject: [PHP-DB] Date Translation in MySQL

I'm looking for a quick and simple way to query a MySQL database by date, or
more specifically, by day of the week.  My dates are stored in the DB in
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format.  Question, is there a built-in for PHP or MySQL
that will take this column and return only Saturdays, for example, without
having to use PHP to find each of the last X number of Saturdays and then
for each Saturday, query the database?

In case it matters, I am running on PHP v 4.4.7 and MySQL version 4.1.22.

Thanks in advance.
