I did this :

$dob= explode('-', $aAns["dob"]);

This gives me an array of $dob with yy, mm and dd.

Thanks to those who replied.

I thought date() took a timestamp, not a string.  Here's what I do:

$timestamp = $dbdate;
echo date("d",$timestamp)
echo date("m",$timestamp)

Well, there is actually a quite good support for manipulating strings
in php. Have a look at the format of your date variable, and use
either the regexp functions or string functions like split and
explode.

Let's say your date is in a format like '-MM-DD hh:mm:ss'. Then
somehing like

list($yy, $mon, $dd, $hh, $min, $ss) = split(" |:|-", $date);

would do the trick.
