Converting date

[8ride]

Is there a way to convert a date such as 022703 to Thursday February 27, 2003 ?

I could always modify the date to but I want something simple with just numbers and maybe slashes "/"

$var = 022703
$day = substr($var, 0, 2);
$month  = substr($var, 2, 2);
$year = substr($var, 4, 2);

$format = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);
$formatted = date("D M d Y",$format);

hows that?

oops sorry wrong format:

$var = 022703
$month = substr($var, 0, 2);
$day  = substr($var, 2, 2);
$year = substr($var, 4, 2);

$format = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);
$formatted = date("D M d Y",$format);
