Several ways to get the day of the week in php and how to use the date function

The code is as follows:

<?php
/**
 * php 获取星期几的代码
 * http://bbs.it-home.org
*/
date("l");
//data就可以获取英文的星期比如Sunday
date("w");
//这个可以获取数字星期比如123，注意0是星期日

//获取中文星期几：
$weekarray=array("日","一","二","三","四","五","六");
//先定义一个数组
echo "星期".$weekarray[date("w")];

//获取指定日期是：
$weekarray=array("日","一","二","三","四","五","六");
echo "星期".$weekarray[date("w","2011-11-11")];
?>
