I saw a bunch of bad examples given to you that completely ignore any
available locale information... so here's a better version:
<?php
function dayIdToName( $id )
{
static $days = null;
if( $days === null )
{
$control = gmmktime( 12, 1, 1, 5, 20, 2007 );
for( $i = 0; $i < 7; $i++ )
{
$days[$i] = gmdate( 'l', $control + ($i * 24 * 60 * 60) );
}
}
return isset( $days[$id] ) ? $days[$id] : null;
}
?>
If you want Monday to be the first day of the week, just use a date for
gmmktime() that falls on a Monday.
Cheers,
Rob.
