note 58682 added to function.date

I use 14 character long datetime fields (20050905105237) in my database. I needed a way to easily transform them into human-readable format so I wrote the mydate() function. <? $datetime = "20050905105237"; $justdate = "20050905"; echo mydate("Y-m-d H:i:s", $datetime); // Produces 2005-09-05 10:52:37 echo mydate("l, F j, Y", $justdate); // Produces Monday, September 5, 2005 function mydate($format, $publictime) { $sec = substr($publictime, 12, 2); $min = substr($publictime, 10, 2); $hour = substr($publictime, 8, 2); $day = substr($publictime, 6, 2); $month = substr($publictime, 4, 2); $year = substr($publictime, 0, 4); return date($format, mktime($hour, $min, $sec, $month, $day, $year)); } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58682 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58682&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58682&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58682&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58682&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58682&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58682&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58682&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58682&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
