[Resolved] Time Conversion between formats

[showman]

Could someone please provide the quickest easiest means of converting from a timestamp to a readable format of just the date?

I have a timestamp that looks like this

20030906132143

and I want to be able to convert it to a display that looks like this:

09/06/2003

I know there has to be a simple way, but can't seem to find anything but lengthy confusing discussions of the different types of formats..

thanks

Lookup strtotime() and date() functions:

<?php
$fullmontyTime = "20030906132143";
$strYear = substr($fullmontyTime, 0, 8);
$strFullTime = substr($fullmontyTime, 8, 6);
$strHour = substr($strFullTime, 0, 2);
$strMinute = substr($strFullTime, 2,2);
$strSeconds = substr($strFullTime, 4,2);

$validTime = "{$strYear} {$strHour}:{$strMinute}:{$strSeconds}";

if (strtotime($validTime)>1)
{
	echo date("d M Y H:i.s",strtotime($validTime));
}

?>

Thank you for the reply..

that is exactly what I was looking for.

With a few minor modifications of the display code sequence, it works and looks perfect..

It is a beautiful thing..

thank you
