exploding date to format needed...

[el_kab0ng]

How do I get a date string such as this:

08/20/02 14:21

Broken down into chunks like this:

$month = 08
$day = 20
$year = 02
$hour = 14
$minute = 21

I know how to put them together, but not how to break them apart. Any help is appreicated.

$array = preg_split('#[\s/:]#', $date);

smth of this kind. Details in manual 🙂

while that might be sexy, I decided to take a different route..

<?php 
$DateOld    = "08/20/02 14:21";
$month = substr($DateOld, 0, 2);
$day = substr($DateOld, 3, 2);
$year = substr($DateOld, 6, 2);
$HH = substr($DateOld, 9, 2);
$i = substr($DateOld, 12, 2);
print "$month<br>";
print "$day<br>";
print "$year<br>";
print "$HH<br>";
print "$i<br>";
?>

Or how bout:

$DateOldÊÊÊÊ=Ê"08/20/02 14:21";
list($month,$day,$year,$hour,$minute,$second) =
explode(',',date('n,j,Y,H,i,s',strtotime($DateOld)));

Always 3 or four ways to do the same thing, I guess it boils down to what you comprehend the fastest.

Thanks for your help guys!
