    I have a date stored in a class variable with the format mm/dd/aaaa (cause it's spanish)
    How can I convert it to a string in spanish?
    For example:
    I have 06/10/2011
    convert that to: Viernes 10 de Junio de 2011.

    Can someone please guide me on this?

    Thank you.

    Here's a start. You're on your own in regards to figuring out the name of the day! :p
    <?php
$initial_date = '06/10/2011';
$date = explode('/', $initial_date);
$months = array(
	'01' => 'enero',
	'02' => 'febrero',
	'03' => 'marzo',
	'04' => 'abril',
	'05' => 'mayo',
	'06' => 'junio',
	'07' => 'julio',
	'08' => 'agosto',
	'09' => 'setiembre',
	'10' => 'octubre',
	'11' => 'noviembre',
	'12' => 'diciembre',
);
$day = $date[1];
$month = $months[$date[0]];
$year = $date[2];
echo $day.' de '.$month.' de '.$year.'.';
?>
    PHP:
