Return the last 2 digits a number

Question

How can I get the last 2 digits of:

200912

to my object:

$year = $flightDates-&         


        

Answer 1

You can just address it as string, the function substr will convert it automatically:

departureDate->year;

echo substr( $year, -2 );

?>

Take a closer look at substr function. If you want the result to be a strict integer, then just add (int) in front of the return.

But, as Jan. said, you should better work with it as a date:

departureDate->year;

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat( 'dmy', $year );

echo date( "y", $date->getTimestamp() );

?>
