Internally PHP works with Unix timestamps. Use strtotime() to turn your
date into such a timestamp, then use whatever date function you like,
e.g.
$date = getdate(strtotime('09/03/1951'));
Now $date will be an array with all the informations you want:
Array
(
[seconds] => 0
[minutes] => 0
[hours] => 0
[mday] => 3
[wday] => 1
[mon] => 9
[year] => 1951
[yday] => 245
[weekday] => Monday
[month] => September
[0] => -578451600
)
