Convert MMDDYYYY to date for PHP

Question

I have a string with a date which is in this format MMDDYYYY (ie. 01132012, 01142012 etc.)

I need to do something on a page, if that string is 14 days or less from t

Answer 1

You can use the DateTime class of PHP

diff($date);

  ...

  // output the date in format you want
  echo $date->format('d/m/Y');
?>

EDIT: I just realized, that your format isn't one supported by php. So you have to use alternate objectbuild.
