if you are sure $date will *always* be of the same format:

function date_manipulator($date=0)
{
   Global $year,$day,$month;  // I should update your variables from a
previous call, if you don't need it - don't use it ...
   if($date!=0) {
      $year = substring($date,0,4);
      $month = substring($date,4,6); // you mean that the month follows the
year? (not clear in your example)
      $day = substring($date,6,8);
      return "Today's date is $day $month $year"; or use mktime() etc ... 
   }
}


Cheers,

1.
$date = "20010101";

How could I output 01 01 2001 (or make it 3 variables, like day, month,
year)?

2.
What is the best way to encrypt (using PHP and MySQL)?

Could you please answer me directly by mailadr. ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), because
