[SOLVED] Formatting a date

[Canman2005]

Hi all

 

I have two varibles, one called

 

$cycle_through_the_month

 

and another called

 

$display_month.

 

"$cycle_through_the_month" displays a date, such as "5" for the 5th day, "18" for the 18th day and so on

 

"$display_month" displays a month and year, such as "MARCH 2007" or "NOVEMBER 2007".

 

Combined together like "$cycle_through_the_month $display_month" produces something like 2 APRIL 2007 or 26 JUNE 2007.

 

What I want to do is to format these so that they print out like

 

02/12/2007

 

or

 

29/11/2007

 

Is this possible? Can anyone help?

 

Thanks in advance

Take a look at the functions strtotime() and date().

 

You can do something like:

<?php
echo date('m/d/Y',strtotime($cycle_through_the_month . ' ' . display_month));
?>
