PHP Parse Date String

Question

If I\'ve got a date string:

$date = \"08/20/2009\";

And I want to separate each part of the date:

$m = \"08\";
$d = \"20\";         


        

Answer 1

One way would be to do this:

$time = strtotime($date);
$m = date('m', $time);
$d = date('d', $time);
$y = date('Y', $time);
