You just need to execute a query with the name, what is the issue?

Creating columns with dates as their name is a very bad idea and a very bad design. However, there is no other reason you cannot do it. You'll want to strip out special characters such as "/" and "-" so you'll want your dates like 20150509, for example.

I would strongly suggest you rethink your database design and have a table that stores the date in one column and then the employees in another column and create a record for each employee on each date that you need.
