Format Date in drop down menu

Okay, I am trying to get a drop down list in a form to display in a certain format.

(eg):
10 June (Friday)

Of course I'm using the php date() function but I want it to show in the format above for the dates for the next two months. So the dropdown would display like this:

10 June (Friday)
11 June (Saturday)
....
..
and so on until it displays up to two months after the current date or 'now'.

tia :)

humm, maybe this will help
$timestamp = time();
while($timestamp < strtotime('+2 month'))
{
echo date('Y-m-d',$timestamp);
$timestamp = strtotime('+1 day',$timestamp);
}

;)
