Regardind display of days

[srilakshmitr7]

In php if we provide a particulr date how to display the name of the day i.e; whether that day lies on sunday or monday...

Can you please give me idea.

Convert that date to unixtimestamp using strtotime. Then use date("l") to get the day.
http://in.php.net/date
eg.

$date = "2009-03-31";
$timestamp = strtotime($date);
echo date("l",$timestamp);

I want to dsiplay it irrespective of year for example if i give the date that belongs to year 1987 it should display the day with respect to present year.

Yes. That is what it does. Try out that example by giving 1987's date :)

Thank you so much.
