how do you get just the month (in numeric format ) of a specific date. (not today) same for day and year. The date is in yyyy-dd-mm format to start with. thanks. if you obtain it directly you should try to alter the way you get the date.

If it is from e.g. a database or something, you can choose: $date="2003-04-01"; example 1: $date_elements = explode ('-',$date); echo "The date has exploded in a day {$date_elements[2]}, a month {$date_elements[1]} and the year{$date_elements[0]}."; example 2:

echo 'The date is '     .substr($date, 8,2). '(day)'
                        .substr($date, 5,2). '(month)'
                        .substr($date, 0,4). '(year)';
