If that info comes from a database, the db might have date formatting
capabilities that you could use.
Otherwise, mktime and date would do:
$dayofweek = date("l", mktime(0,0,0,$Month, $Date, $Year))
Or you could use getdate instead of date to populate an array of
interesting values :-)
Have a look at the date functions for more exciting possibilities.
