[SOLVED] split date of birth

[steviez]

Hi,

 

In my database users dates of birth are stored like: 09/12/1986

Ho can I split the DOB up so I can get the day month and year separately?

 

Thanks

$parts = explode("/", $dateofbirth);

or you could use substr

 

$month = substr("$dateofbirth", 0, 2);

$day = substr("$dateofbirth", 3, 2);

$year = substr("$dateofbirth", 6, 4);

[steviez]

$parts = explode("/", $dateofbirth);

 

I have done this:

 

$parts = explode("/", $dateofbirth);
$parts[0] // day
$parts[1] // month
$parts[2] // year

 

is that OK?

yup
