Get Day from Date

[npsari]

Hello.

Can you tell how to obtain the Day from the Date

My Date format is as follows: Y-m-d

I created a code, but it gives me the year...

 

$date = date("Y-m-d");
$get_day = strtok($date, "-");
print"$get_day";

 

Programming is not my skill

For starters:

 

$date = date('d'); // equals the current day

$day = end(explode('-', $date)); // also returns the day from a stored variable in that format

All you need to do is call date with just the day.

echo date('d');

 

If you have a date string like 2008-12-30, you can first convert it to a UNIX timestamp and then you're free to use the date function.

 

$date = '2008-12-30';

// convert to UNIX timestamp
$timestamp = strtotime($date);

echo date('d', $timestamp);

 

Also, if you are getting this date from a MySQL database, you can optionally format it in the query instead.
