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

How about some substr + mktime?

$string = '01142012';
$time = mktime(0, 0, 0, 
          substr($string, 0, 2),
          substr($string, 2, 2),
          substr($string, 4, 4)
        );
 echo date('d/m/Y', $time);
