Day of the week

What is the best way to display the day of the week on a
webpage? What I want to do is display the day of the
week minus 15 days. Therefore if it was actually
wednesday, the webpage would display tuesday, and
thoroughly confuse every visitor. I think this would be
a useful app.

Please let me know if this is possible

Thanks

Requires JavaScript or Server-side scripting.

In what way would this be useful to your site visitors?

Because as they were surfing the site, they would
consistantly think it is the day before it actually is,
thereby missing appointments, etc

doesn't answer the question. How is making visitors think it's tuesday
minus 15 days when it's really Wednesday a GOOD or USEFUL function for your
site?

I am sure this is possible, but like other queriers, what's the use?

To do so, use the functions I sent in reply to "How do I display the
date/time on my frontpage web pages?"

But you get into the date returned and manipulate it, i.e. by subtracting
the 15 days before displaying it. I would need to look at the format it is
returned before I could be more definite. If it is in seconds then you would
subtract 60*60*24*15 from the result. If in milliseconds (which is more
likely ) then subtract 60*60*24*15*1000.

Have fun

BTW, isn't Tuesday minus 15 days the same thing as Tuesday minus 1 day?
