Checking today's Day?

[Solarpitch]

Hi,

 

Is this how you would check if today was Sunday for example... Only, I'm trying this but noting will print to screen as I'm testing.

 

<?php

	$d=date("D");

	if ($d=="Sun")
	{
  		echo "Today is Sunday"; 
	}


?>

There are many ways to do that.

A simple way,added in PHP 5.1.0

 

	$d=date(N);

	if ($d=="2")
	{
  		echo "Today is Tuesday"; 
	}

1 for monday

2 for tuesday

3 for wednesday

4 for thursday

5 for friday

6 for saturday

7 for sunday

Is there anyway it could take the value of a date in the format 07012008 (today's date) and then check to see if today is Sunday?

<?php
  $date = date("N",mktime(0, 0, 0, 7, 1, 2008));
  echo $date;
?>

or

echo "Today is: " . date("l",mktime(0, 0, 0, 7, 1, 2008));
