Formatting a string

[KITTfan2K]

I want to take a date, in the form of 030626 (for 2003.06.26) and re-format it so that it looks like this: 26.06.03 (or 26/06/03 - i'm not too fussed.)

How should i do this?

I'm also removing letters from the start and end of this filename. I'm using str_replace to do this:

str_replace ("Text","",$Variable)

Is this correct, or is there a better way to do this?

$new = substr ($olddate, 4) . '/' . substr ($olddate, 2,2) . '/' . substr($olddate, 0,2);

Thanks.

I'd probably be better off using the substr function to cut the unnecessary characters from the beginning and end of the string, too?

(There's always 2 at the start, and 4 at the end)
