hello list friends, hope you can help me with my problem. here it is:
i have a date string formatted this way: $date = "Apr. 02, 2002" i want to capture the "Apr" (without the period) into $1, "02" into $2, and "2002" into $3. note that some months may not be abbreviated (such as May), and therefore might not have a period. my regex skills are still sadly inferior (though i'm learning =) my second (and optional) problem for you to solve: i want to transform this into mysql date format (yyyy-mm-dd). this is easy enough to do, but i was wondering if there are any modules there that can date manipulation a lot easier. if you know any, just let me know. thanks a lot!
