Checking dates

I have a form that I need to check a date field to see if it is a weend day or weekday, and make a select list accordingly.

Something like this:

<input name= date value =2006-03-06 onchange=checkDate(this)>

fucntion checkDate(obj)

How do I take the date in the above form field and check to see if it is a saturday or sunday, and then display the output in an if/then statement? I am more of a php guy!

Here's a quick function I just wrote up... haven't tested it fully, but it seems to work.
Code:
function isWeekend(obj) {
	var input_date = new Date(obj.value);

	if ( (input_date.getDay()==0) || (input_date.getDay()==6) ) {
		return true;
	}

	return false;
}

Code:
<input type="text" id="date_field" value="March 6, 2006" />
<input type="button" value="Check" onclick="alert(isWeekend(document.getElementById('date_fiel  d')));" />

Note, with my function you need to enter the date as you read it in my example... other forms of mm/dd/yy may not work.

Thanks, let me expand on what I want to do. I already have a form setup in an php page that allows users to schedule events. The admin has the option to set weekday hours and weekend hours. The form has a date field, a start time and end time. I need the form to check the date and output the correct start time/end time dropdowns.
