date($string, format)

[jakeone]

$query_data['archiveDate'] contains a year-month in YYYY-MM format. I'm trying to strip out the month and put it in word form, i.e. "October".

I tried using the following without success:

date(substr($query_data['archiveDate'],-2),F)

I know I'm missing quotation marks somewhere but I'm not sure where. Can anyone help.

Thanks

Simple way would be to tack a day on the end of your variable, then you can use strtotime to get your month.

<?
$query_data['archiveDate']="2003-10";
$date = $query_data['archiveDate']."-01";

$yourAnswer = date("F", strtotime($date));
?>
