How to get day's name from date

1 New Member
Hi !!

I have worked on this a lot but failed. I want to get days name (like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.) from a specific date. Getting a days name from current date is simple. But how do i get days name from a specific date that is specified.

Please help as soon as possible.

Thanks

the function weekday() returns a number from 1 to 7 (or is it 0 to 6? I forget) and the function weekDayName() takes a number from 1 to 7 and returns the name. To use them both together you could say:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. dim myDate
  2. myDate = date()
  3. response.write weekdayname(weekday(myDate))
