Date

[DrTrans]

 

Sorry guys, I have a Quick question just need some help or a sample... I just need to change a date format etc.. Maybe u can understand what im wanting to do

 

$job->date  = 01/22/09 09:00 PM  I need this turn aroudn to 20090122 2300

 

 

However, I can not go back and edit where i have parsed the date because in my web app i want it to read the correct 01/22/09 09:00 PM.

 

so my thought in perl would be to split the $job->date and rearrange into format i need without the / and correct the 09 with a "20" since we all know for another 1000 years this isnt going to change, and correct the 09 in tiem with a +12 sequence..

 

If you would gladly post some help or a snippet of code i would appreciate it.. I have hard issues with learning PHP by reading, The only way for me to learn it is to see it done, then i understand it.

 

Thanks

$string = "01/22/09 09:00 PM";
$ts = strtotime($string);
echo date("Ymd Hi",$ts);
