How do I convert dates between formats

[pioneerx01]

Hi,

 

Lets say that I have a date in the format of YmdHis (reads: 20120813005549) and I want to convert it into D, M d, Y at g:i:s A (reads: Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 12:55:49 AM)

 

Is there a way to do this automatically or semi-automatically with some code?

 

Thanks

You'll need a valid date format in the first place, but yeah, take a look at the datetime functions. http://php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php

Here's a bit of a start to help you out. This will split the string into it's components

 

<?php

$date_str = '20120813005549';

list( $year1, $year2, $month, $day, $hour, $min, $sec ) = str_split($date_str, 2);
$year = $year1.$year2;

echo "$year - $month - $day $hour:$min:$sec";

?>
