[PHP] String to Date Conversion Problem

2009-07-31 Thread Alice Wei 

Hi, Guys:

  I am trying to turn a prepared line into a date format, and the string looks 
something like this: 23 JUL 09  -  THURSDAY, and I am trying to change the 
string to a mm/dd/ format that looks like 07/23/2009. 

  I tried to use strtotime() but it gave me nothing. 
  Here is the code: 

list($date,$month,$year,$dash,$day) = split( ,$line,5);
echo date2 . strtotime($date . \s . $month . \s . $year). 
/date2;

  Could anyone on the list please give me a hint on what I might have done 
wrong here? 

Thanks for your help.

Alice

Hi Alice,

Based on the string format that you mentioned (DD MMM YY - DAY) you  
should be able to transform to any other date using the following:


$parts = explode(' ', '23 JUL 09 - THURSDAY');

echo date('m/d/Y', strtotime({$parts[1]} {$parts[0]} {$parts[2]}));

Cheers

Stuart

Looks like what I did by using mm/dd/ was extra, which was probably why it 
didn't work. 
Thanks, looks like this is up and running now.
