RE: [PHP] Date

Don't forget that in cases like the one below, you can use the list() function to tighten things up a bit: $start_date='2007-06-20'; list($start_year, $start_month, $start_day) = explode('-',$start_date); I prefer using the date functions that some of the other people mentioned and only use the string functions to get date info when I have to. If you use strtotime() or have the date in a serial format already, you can get a lot more than just month, day, year out of it using date(). But if all you really need is month, day, year then whichever method is easiest to work with. -TG = = = Original message = = = $start_date='2007-06-20'; $parts=explode('-',$start_date); $start_year = $parts[0]; $start_month = $parts[1]; $start_day = $parts[2]; ___________________________________________________________ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.
