strptime replacement

[Ninjakreborn]

<?php

$pdate = strptime($date, '%Y-%m-%d');

?>

this strptime function is not implemented on a windows system.

Is there a function that can do the same as what the above does, but on a

windows system?

what does $date look like? was it generated with strftime?

[Ninjakreborn]

Not, sure.  It's a function that has it in there.

I just know that when I run the page it tells me function does not exist.

[Ninjakreborn]

It looks like each time the function is called,date is actually pulled directly from

a database, which has it as a unix timestamp.

[BlueSkyIS]

if we're sure it's a unix timestamp, we can use date(), but you'd need to match the formatting. much info:
