Problems with email date!!

[joe_chris]

Hi all,

I am new to PHP. I would like to be able to extract information from the date returned by imap_headerinfo() function. An example of the format of the date is "Fri, 31 Aug 2001 22:52:16+1000". I am trying to use preg_match() function to do this, but I don't know the PCRE Regex syntax. Please help!! Is there any better way to do this?

My problem is not to format a date to a desired format. The date returned by imap_headerinfo() function is in that format. I would like to make use of the date, for example comparing date and time.
