jeffman Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 date will help you extract any part of a date you want from a Unix timestamp.strtotime will convert a date string to a Unix timestamp if it's in one of the permitted formats. I can't tell if your format is one of these, so I suggest just trying it.If it's not to late, consider storing all dates in your database as a timestamp. It saves a few conversion steps when storing and then accessing the data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
