If you are calling this function a ridiculous number of times, you
could use a static variable.
function convert_from_weekday($weekday){
static $weeks = '';
if ($weeks === '') $weeks = array('Sonntag', 'Montag', ...);
}
It's kind of a shame that PHP won't let you just initialize a static
to an array, but there it is.
