Ereg_replace I think

[Anon]

I have a variable $time in the format 12:45:00. What I am wondering is how I would go about stripping everything before the first colon and assigning it to the variable $hour and removing everything before the second colon and assigning it to the variable $minutes. I think I would use ereg_replace or something like that.

thanks

Well there are several ways of doing this, but the easiest (unless Vincent can top me again🙂 is probably:

  $time = "12:45:00";
  list($hour,$minute,$second) = explode(":", $time);

HTH.
