Date to day conversion in php

php

Solution

First, you need to parse the string '06/22/2009' into a timestamp, possibly using `strtotime()`:

$dt = strtotime('06/22/2009');

Then, you can format the timestamp using `date()`:

$day = date("D", $dt);

If you especially want it in uppercase, use `strtoupper()`:

print strtoupper($day);

Problem
