Gordon,
Not sure there is a 'direct' way to obtaint this. I'm assuming your date value
is something like
'2004-07-13' which is standard format for a DATE in MYSQL.
The way I would do this is via the mktime() function. Something like:
$mydate = "2004-07-13";
// Split the Date var into seperate fields
list($Year, $Month, $Day) = split("-", $mydate);
// Use mktime to get the UNIX long.
$date_ulong = mktime(0,0,0,$Month, $Day, $Year);
$time_array = getdate($date_ulong);
//At this point the $time_array contains the assoc. array information for the
date including the
DOW.
