[ovisopa]

Hello ppl,

I have a simple question for you, how can I insert in a string after 4 chars a line "-" and after another 2 another line "-" ??

from xxxxxxxx to xxxx-xx-xx what function I should use ????

$newdate = multiple [MAN]substr[/MAN]s

Basically like the previous user said you just need to use multiple substrings, like this:

$var="12345678";
$newVar=substr($var,0,4)."-".substr($var,4,2)."-".substr($var,6);

Hope this helps!

A regex would also work nicely:

<?PHP
$foo = "12345678";
$foo = preg_replace("/(.{4})(.{2})(.{2})/", "$1-$2-$3", $foo);
?>
