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

Is it always like that? Or will it be in any sort of file format?

Try strtotime.

Something like:

if(($iTime = strtotime($strDate))!==false)
{
 echo date('m', $iTime);
 echo date('d', $iTime);
 echo date('y', $iTime);
}
