[SOLVED] strtotime

[The Little Guy]

why doesn't this echo out the time stamp?

 

$bday = 07221986;
$bday = substr_replace($bday, ' ', 2, 0);
$bday = substr_replace($bday, ' ', 5, 0);

echo strtotime($bday);

 

OR

 

$bday = 19860722;
$bday = substr_replace($bday, ' ', 4, 0);
$bday = substr_replace($bday, ' ', 7, 0);

echo strtotime($bday);

In the first one, the substr_replace() is not doing what you think (echo $bday to see what it contains.)

 

In the second one, spaces between the fields are not one of the formats that strtotime() understands for yyyy-mm-dd and it returns a FALSE value. For this one, change the spaces to dashes -

I did this, and it works

 

$bday = 19860722;
$t = strtotime($bday);
echo date('Y m d',$t);
