Hi=2C Guys:

I am trying to turn a prepared line into a date format=2C and the string =
looks something like this: 23 JUL 09 - THURSDAY=2C and I am trying to cha=
nge the string to a mm/dd/yyyy format that looks like 07/23/2009.=20

I tried to use strtotime() but it gave me nothing.=20
Here is the code:=20

list($date=2C$month=2C$year=2C$dash=2C$day) =3D split(" "=2C$line=
=2C5)=3B
echo "" . strtotime($date . "\s" . $month . "\s" . $year). "=
"=3B

Could anyone on the list please give me a hint on what I might have done =
wrong here?=20

Thanks for your help.

Alice

Hi Alice,

Based on the string format that you mentioned (DD MMM YY - DAY) you
should be able to transform to any other date using the following:

$parts = explode(' ', '23 JUL 09 - THURSDAY');

echo date('m/d/Y', strtotime("{$parts[1]} {$parts[0]} {$parts[2]}"));

Cheers

Stuart
