Date format

[jschofield]

Hello all,

I am pulling a date from a flat file that is 4/17/07. I am trying to convert this into 04/17/2007. This is how I am doing this.

 

outdate = date("m/d/Y" , $vals[16]);

 

The $vals[16] is where the date is located at in my file. The output I get is the same format that is in my file before converting. So pretty much my converting of the date does nto work. Anyone have any ideas? Please help. Thanks everyone.

this worked for me

 

<?php

$date = explode("/", "4/17/07");
$month = $date[0];
$day = $date[1];
$year = $date[2];

echo date("m/d/Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year));

?>

<?php
$d = '4/17/07';

$formatted = date('m/d/Y', strtotime($d));

echo $formatted;
?>
