anatak Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 look into the function string to date http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=php+string+to+date+function&btnG=Google+Search it is amazing what you can find with google isn't it ? http://jp.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php will help you maybe http://jp.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php is what you are really looking for so you search should have been string to time or you could write a script that checks the characters on positions in your string 2/5/07 check if second character is a number or / and if it is a / you should put a 0 in front of the first character and check again for the other possible positions of slashes in your string. anatak Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/42421-solved-date-conversion/#findComment-205793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
