[RESOLVED]Get the day of the week of a certain day (ex: what day of the week was 1st)

[Zeratulsdomain]

How would I go about getting the day of the week of a certain day?

I want to make a calendar and I want to know what day is the first day (ex if March 1st is on a Friday)...

Right now I could use a combination of date(N) ( numeric representation of the day of the week ) and date(j) (Day of the month) then do some % math to figure it out, but there must be a better way.

Any ideals? I figure there must be a way to do this using date(N) but specifing what day you want to know (as opposed to the current day)

Have a look at the getDate() function.

tnx, this line of code does the trick (with "wday")

print_r(getdate(date("U", mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 1, 2008))));

That saves me lots of un-needed math :P
