There's not a single function to do that. If it is a string, and you can always guarantee that it will be in the format YYYY-MM-DD, then you can just get the first 4 characters. Or else, you will need to use a combination of mktime and date. You can find the date/time reference here, look up mktime and date. You might also want to look into strtotime.http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php
