Get String

[phppaper]

I have a variable:

 

$adate = '16-06-2008'

 

I want to have a variable $temp = 16062008

 

What function should I use to get $adate which is '16-06-2008' but exclude the "-" sign inside??

 

Thanks!

echo str_replace('-','',$adate);

That format for a date has very limited use in programming. You cannot sort it or do any greater-than/less-than comparisons.

 

What are you using this for?

I try to put the date with such a format dd-mm-yyyy inside a <span></span>  but the "-" character turn out to be funny number, any idea why??

Please describe a "funny number".  If it's prepended by a %, then you must be running urlencode on it or something.

I would do something like this:

 

$adate = strtotime('16-06-2008');
