note 35346 added to function.date

A quick way to convert a date in UK format to US date format, so it can be converted into a UNIX timestamp, is to simply reverse the day and month. Example: date given = "19/12/01" (UK date for 19th December 2001) list ($day, $month, $year) = split ("/", "19/12/01"); $newdate = $month."/".$day."/".$year; $unixdate = strtotime ($newdate); $ukdate = date("d/m/y", $unixdate); This splits the UK date into chunks then rearranges the first 2 to make it a US style date. Then it gets the UNIX timestamp ready for further processing. To convert back to a UK date format use the last line of code above. Note how you can use the slash symbol with date(). ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+35346 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+35346&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+35346&report=yes
