date reformatting

[krispy]

I am trying to convert a date that I take from an email. It is in this format:

Wed, 02 Aug 2006 03:59:10 -0700

And I want to convert it to:

2006-08-02

This:
trim(substr($date,12,4))."-".trim(substr($date,8,3))."-".trim(substr($date,5,2))

...will get me:

2006-Aug-02.

Any quick php tips to convert the "Aug" to convert to "08"?

Use this code

$months = array('Jan'=>1,'Feb'=>2,'Mar'=>3,'Apr'=>4,'May'=>' 5', 'Jun'=>6,'Jul'=>7,'Aug'=>8,'Sep'=>9, 'Oct'=>10,'Nov'=>11,'Dec'=>12);$month_no = $months[$month_name];
As for your conversion. You can just try using the strtotime function. Followed by the date() function. Convert the time into unix timestamp using the strtotime function. Then change it into the format of your choice using the date() function.

I have got simper method

Code:
$NewDate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($OldDate));
Now, I've never used strtotime with the timezone offset like you have there...so I'm not sure how it works. I'll test it when I get a second and see what I come up with.

Edit: Okay, after the 4 second exhaustive test, it appears to work... -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
