In that case, one simple way (though not the most economical way, and
really hacky, reinventing the wheel in the process) would be to create a
function like so:
<?
function num2day($num) {
if($num == "1") {
$day = "Sunday";
} elseif($num == "2") {
$day = "Monday";
} elseif($num == "3") {
$day = "Tuesday";
} elseif($num == "4") {
$day = "Wednesday";
} elseif($num == "5") {
$day = "Thursday";
} elseif($num == "6") {
$day = "Friday";
} elseif($num == "7") {
$day = "Saturday";
}
return $day;
}
?>

I'm not really sure. I've got a numerical interpretation of the day of
the week in a table and I need to print out what day of the week it
translates to.
I tried using date_format in the MySQL query but it didn't seem to work.

Do you mean by using the date() function?

How can I convert the numerical day of week to the string version?
Example, if the day of the week is 1 I would like to print out 'Sunday'.
Thanks,
