 * Hello,
 * PHP newbie here. Have tried to write a custom function for use with Gravity Forms.
   Have created a child them and that’s all good.
 * Purpose of function: to take a value from a date picker field and return what
   day of the week it is.
 * Have added this into functions.php and added to child theme:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * Use Gravity Forms Conditional Logic with Dates
        */Returns day of week of selected date
   
       add_filter("gform_field_value_dayofweek", "liz_populate_dayofweek");
       function liz_populate_dayofweek( $value ){
           $timestamp = (strtotime($value))
           $day = date('l', $timestamp);
           return $day;
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Which gives the following error:
    : syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in …line
   4 of child theme functions.php
 * Can anyone help me out here please?
    Many thanks!!

 * NB, I have just noticed the missing semi-colon on line 3 and fixed it but it 
   makes no difference.
