Use strstr to find the '-', then use substr to extract the parts you want and build a new string.

Note: since strstr will only find the first occurance of '-', you'll have to cut that part out once your done with it. Such as:

$date = "05-04-2002";

use strstr to find -, then use substr to assign $month = 05
now $date = $date - the "05-" part.

Repeat process for day, and year.

can i use explode??

something like as below:

$date = 10-07-2003

$arraydate = explode("-", $date);

$year = $arraydate[2];
$month = $arraydate[1];
$day = $arraydate[0];

Actually yes, and that's a way better way of doing it.

list($mm,$dd,$year) = explode('-', $date);
