try "preg_match(pattern,string on wich the pattern will be aplied)"; http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php you can also define an offset. so first take te first 2 digits. than take the other 2 digits and after that get the other four digits. after that place them in one string. after that use maketime,strtotime,date. this kind of stupid solution but i only thought of that. hope this will help
