convert 20010611 to 11/06/2001

[Anon]

I need the datam in a string likeconvert 20010611 for some calculations, but when I output to the user I need it in the 11/06/2001.

I used to use a function that used the unpack function within it...

I lost the function and don´t remember how I wrote it ... how can I do it

If the format is allways yyyymmdd, then you could use something like

echo substr($string,6,2).'/'.substr($string,4,2).'/'.substr($string,0,4);

You can use this function:

function arrangedate($string) {
$date = split('/', $string);
$arranged = "$date[2]/$date[1]/$date[0]";

return $arranged;
}

Ehm.. the source string did not have an slashes in it....

Ops... sorry!!! I didn't realize that.

So, I think the best way is the first one (posted by you).
