Answer 1

This is how I did it.

// Define key-value array
$days_dias = array(
'Monday'=>'Lunes',
'Tuesday'=>'Martes',
'Wednesday'=>'Miércoles',
'Thursday'=>'Jueves',
'Friday'=>'Viernes',
'Saturday'=>'Sábado',
'Sunday'=>'Domingo'
);

//lookup dia based on day name
$dia =  $days_dias[date('l', strtotime("1993-04-28"))];
