I have a string which is a date - eg "01-JUL-02"
I want to convert the month bit to it's corresponding number, so the above
would become "01-07-02"
Can this easily be done using a regex?
Otherwise I was thinking of this:
$mon = array("JAN"=>"01", "FEB"=>"02",
"MAR"=>"03", etc...);
list($x, $y, $z) = explode("-", $date);
$date = $x."-".$mon[$y]."-".$z;
A bit dodgy, but if I have to....
