Re: how to convert a string into a date format ?????

Also consider the strtotime() function, it'll give you the unix timestamp of this string. Example : $date_str = '2001-10-25'; print strtotime($date_str); // 1003968000 Using it with date() can be like : print date('F d, Y',strtotime($date_str)); // October 25, 2001 If applicable, let your database do such conversions as it'll be more efficient that way. regards, Philip Olson On Wed, 10 Oct 2001, Jason G. wrote: > > list($year, $month, $day) = explode('-', '2001-10-25'); > echo $year; > echo $month; > echo $day; > > OR > > $aData = explode('-', '2001-10-25'); > echo $aData[0]; //year > echo $aData[1]; //month > echo $aData[2]; //day > > -Jason Garber > IonZoft.com > > At 10:36 AM 10/10/2001 +0530, sagar N Chand wrote: > >hi all, > > > >i have a string like this "2001-10-25". > >I want to convert this into a date format. ie i want > >to get only the month or only the date or only the year from this > >string without using string manupulations. > > > >is there any way out. i've gone thru the manual. > > > >/sagar > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >
