[SOLVED] splitting 6 digit number into 3 groups of two.

[Yammyguy]

I have an array value 090413 which is year, month, day.

 

I've tried:

$date = 090413;
list($year, $monthday) = str_split($date, 2);
list($month, $day) = str_split($monthday, 2);
echo"$year <br />$month <br />$day<br />";

 

This sort of works, however the $day variable has no value.

 

anyone know of a more efficient way of splitting this into 3 parts of two a little more directly?

 

Thanks very much in advance!

Try:

<?php
$date = '090413';
$yr = substr($date,0,2);
$mon = substr($date,2,2);
$day = substr($date,4,2);
echo $yr . '<br />' . $mon . '<br />' . $day . "<br />";
?>

if you're using php5 you can use str_split

Here it is with str_split

<?php
$date = '090413';
list($yr,$mon,$day) = str_split($date,2);
echo $yr . '<br />' . $mon . '<br />' . $day . "<br />";
?>
