note 30370 added to function.substr

Been wondering how to convert those pesky YYYYMMDD dates to their individual values quickly and easily? Try this: $yyyymmdd = "20030711"; list($year,$month,$day) = array(substr($yyyymmdd,0,4), substr($yyyymmdd,4,2), substr($yyyymmdd,6,2)); echo($year." ... ".$month." ... ".$day); Voila! The one-liner conversion (should be one line, it may have broken it over two). Echoes this: 2003 ... 07 ... 11 This handy language construct reminder can handle dates through the year 9999. Minimize your code!
