[SOLVED] Convert from 4-digit to 2-digit year

[ainoy31]

Hello-

 

I am trying to convert from a 4-digit to a 2-digit year.  Here is my code:

 

$date = "2007-10-02";

$explode_date = explode("-", $date);

 

echo $new_date = $explode_date[1].$explode_date[2].$explode_date[0];

 

The result is 10022007 but I need it to be 100207(mmddyy).  Any suggestion is much appreciated.  AM

<?php
$date = "2007-10-02";
$timestamp = strtotime($date);
$new_date = date("mdy", $timestamp);
?>

 

 

www.php.net/date

www.php.net/strtotime

or

echo $new_date = $explode_date[1].$explode_date[2].$explode_date[0] % 100;echo $new_date = $explode_date[1].$explode_date[2].substr($explode_date[0],-2);
