if you obtain it directly you should try to alter the way you get the date.how do you get just the month (in numeric format ) of a specific date. (not today) same for day and year. The date is in yyyy-dd-mm format to start with. thanks.
If it is from e.g. a database or something, you can choose:
$date="2003-04-01";
example 1:
$date_elements = explode ('-',$date);
echo "The date has exploded in a day {$date_elements[2]}, a month {$date_elements[1]} and the year{$date_elements[0]}.";
example 2:
echo 'The date is ' .substr($date, 8,2). '(day)'
.substr($date, 5,2). '(month)'
.substr($date, 0,4). '(year)';(I'm not 100% sure about the 8 and the 5 )
