    Hi,

    I'm currently using the follow code to explode a date:

    PHP Code:

    list($y, $m, $d) = explode('-', substr($postted_date, 0, 9));

    The postted_date looks like this:

    2011-07-26 17:18:20

    Its definitely breaking up the date to list the year, month and day, but for example with the above date for month its only displaying the '7' and I need it to display the month as '07'. Same case with the day.

    Suggestions?

    Thanks

    just do it like this.

    
$y = date('Y',strtotime('2011-07-26 17:18:20'));
$m = date('m',strtotime('2011-07-26 17:18:20'));
$d = date('d',strtotime('2011-07-26 17:18:20'));
    PHP:

    I finally figured it out like this:

    list($y, $m, $d) = explode('-', substr($postted_date, 0, 10));

    I was supposed to be grabbing the first 10 chars of the $postted_date, not 9.
