Reverse a string

[petenaylor]

Hi all

 

I have a date string in an SQL database that I use for expiry on adverts. It is in the format yymmdd. For example today would be 110815.

 

I am echoing it out to the browser using

 

<?php echo $showliveadverts['datecreated']; ?>

 

How can I reverse this so it displays ddmmyy ?

 

Thanks for your help

 

Pete

echo date(' d/m/y', strtotime($showliveadverts['datecreated']) );

If you want to format the date, the above example is great. If you simply want to split the string into 2 character chunks, then reverse it, use something like this

 

$date = 'yymmdd';
$parts = str_split($date,2);
$parts = array_reverse($parts);
echo implode('/',$parts);
