Breaking apart a number.

[victorysshadow]

Hey Guys!

I am trying to break apart a number to get separate portions.

For example, I want to do the following:

$sDate = 20040506185423;
##after somehow breaking it up=> =>##
$year = 2004;
$month = 05;
$day = 06;
$hour = 18;
$minute =  54;
$second = 23;

I would look in the forums or manuals for this, but I don't even know what it is called, so... thanks for the help.

You can do this:

$sDate = 20040506185423;

$year = date("Y", $sDate);
$month = date("m", $sDate);
$day = date("d", $sDate);
$hour = date("h", $sDate);
$minute = date("i", $sDate);
$second = date("s", $sDate);

I can't test this right now but if that doesnt work try changing

$sDate = 20040506185423;

to:

$sDate = strtotime("20040506185423");

Or if that's always going to be the format, use [man]substr[/man].

Voila! That is what I was looking for. Thanks.
