Splitting a number

[run_GMoney]

OK, I've got a date in a database in this format '20031117' and I'd like to split that into 3 obvious values; 2003, 11, 17. Is there a way to put the first 4 digits into the first array item, the next 2 in the second array item, and the last 2 in the third array item?

Substr will do this.

<?

$date = array();
$timestamp = 20031117;

$date['year'] = substr($timestamp,0,4);
$date['month'] = substr($timestamp,4,2);
$date['day'] = substr($timestamp,6,2);

?>
