[PHP] Re: breaking a string into chunks

 Hi, all --
 
 Now it's my turn to ask a simple question, or one that sure sounds like
 it should be...
 
 I have a 14-char date string like 20030917181909 and I need to break it
 into its component parts for a more readable 2003-09-17 18:19:09 view.
 How can I do that?  Do I really need to call substr half a dozen times?(!?)
 
 I tried unpack() but all I ended up getting was an array with one entry
 (sometimes with a very strange-looking key).
 
 
 TIA  HAND
 
 :-D

If you are getting that string from a database, and the database is mysql, 
you could let the db do the work. See DATEFORMAT() in mysql.

Cheers
