Splitting a variable value: (array)

[Riddick]

Hi guys and girls

What I need is to split up a date.

Example:
My variable is $_POST[date_1]
This will echo for example 2004-12-02
But I need to work with the 12

I know this has something to do with array_slice but I haven’t worked with it so I have no idea, I have looked it up in manual but can’t make head or tail of it.

Thanks for the help.

You could try:

list($theYear, $theMonth, $theDay) = explode('-', $theDate)

Creates three variables containing the date parts.

Cheers
