- You could define $wdays inside the function
function convert_from_weekday ($weekday) {
$wdays = array
   (0 => "Sonntag"
   ,1 => "Montag"
   ,2 => "Dienstag"
   ,3 => "Mittwoch"
   ,4 => "Donnerstag"
   ,5 => "Freitag"
   ,6 => "Samstag"
 );
   return $wdays[$weekday];
 }
$day = convert_from_weekday(0) // $day = "Sonntag"

Tijnema:

That's also a shorter version of a simple switch statement.

I haven't thought of, or seen, that before -- thanks.

Yeah it is, but i just used moved his $wdays inside the function...

but well, there are ofcourse a lot of other options, as date("l") would also return the day of the month :)

It's the technique and not the specific data thing I was addressing. When I'm confronted with a case condition, I typically use the switch statement. But, your solution provided me with another way to look at that.

Cheers,

But what's the cost of this in a loop, rebuilding the array each time, as compared to a switch statement? Just another thought...
