Re: Numbers to Date

$date = '03135'; $year = substr($date,0,2); //Set $year to first two digits $days = substr($date,2); //Set $days to the rest $date = strtotime("january 1 $year +$days days"); //Set $date to timestamp of that date echo date('l, F j, Y',$date); //Echo formatted date zavaboy wrote:

This does have a little to do with my other post... the fact that we're talkin about 5 digits... Anyway, I want to change a 5 digit number to a full date: For example... The number:

03135                    //(Today) The first 2 digits indacate the year and

the last 3 indacate the day of the year (if the day is 1 or 2 digits it will fill in the blanks with 0 eg: 03500 is Jan 5) I want PHP to find out the date and put it in this format: "Friday, May 16, 2003" (no quotes) ( as if I used: date("l, F j, Y") ) I'm stumped on how to do this... Any help?
