getting rid of forward slashes...

[mkosmosports]

Hey,

 

I have the following string:

$test = "12/12/2007"

 

What would be the most effective way of removing the forward slashes to come up with a "12122007" result?

 

Thanks!

Use the str_replace() function:

<?php
$test = "12/12/2007"
$test = str_replace('/','',$test);
echo $test;
?>

 

You can also use a combination of date() and strtotime()

<?php
$test = "12/12/2007";
$test = date('mdY',strtotime($test));
echo $test;
?>

Beautiful, much quicker than other options I had considered like trim or preg_replace.....

 

Thanks!
