[SOLVED] Split dates

[Roy Barten]

Hello, here the following problem. I have a date from an array looks like this 2009-03-02 10:00. But now i want a variable with the same value, but only the date, and not the time.

 

So $date = 2009-03-02 10:00

 

I want $date2 = 2009-03-02

 

How do i do this?

A lot of ways, the easiest would just be to do

 

<?php
$date = '2009-03-02 10:00';
$date2 = substr($date, 0, 10);

 

if you're a magic constants nazi...

 

<?php
$date = '2009-03-02 10:00';
$date2 = substr($date, 0, strpos($date, ' '));

Or you can explode it and list() the vars in the same go:

 

<?php
$date = '2009-03-02 10:00';
list($date2, $time) = explode(' ', $date);
?>

Or you can use strtotime()

 

$date = '2009-03-02 10:00';
$date2 = date("Y-m-d",strtotime($date));
