Hi,

On our order form the user has to select their desired delivery date by choosing from drop down menus the day of the month, e.g. 23 and the Month, e.g. November.

Is there a formula that will take these two inputs along with taking the current year from the server to work out if the selected date, e.g. 10 October is a Sunday?

Any help would be appreciated,

Charlie

as you don't say what server-side code

ASP;

CODE

function DayName(intDay,intMonth,intYear)
DayName = weekdayname(weekday(intDay & "/" & intMonth & "/" & intYear))
end function

(reorder the date parts in the concatenation to suit country)

PHP;

CODE

function DayName($intDay,$intMonth,$intYear) {
$dayarray = getdate(strtotime( $intMonth . '/' . $intDay . '/' . $intYear));
$strDayName = $dayarray["weekday"];
return $strDayName;
}

useage for both

CODE

DayName(30,10,2004)

Ouch! Sorry if I've appeared to ignore your reply Chris, I'd forgotten that I'd posted this question to this forum, it wasn't until I just went through my old posts that I remembered it.

Anyway, belated thanks for your help, excellent as usual.
