Re: convert date from UK to US for strtotime

> What I really need is to re-order the string that a user inputs, say, > 21/04/2004, so that it becomes 04/21/2004 so I can use strtotime. I use preg_match() (http://www.php.net/manual/de/function.preg-match.php): $dateuk = '21/04/2004'; preg_match("/([0-9]{1,2})\/([0-9]{1,2})\/([0-9]{2,4})/", $dateuk, $m=''); $dateus = "$m[2]/$m[1]/$m[3]"; [0-9]{1,2} matches one or two numbers from 0 to 9 \/ matches / (...) the first brackets-pair will go to $m[1] the second to $m[2] ... g. martin luethi
