Get year

[kproc]

Hi

I'm trying to figure out how to get the year from a variable that has a date stored in it

IE

$eventid = 2006-09-03
$
newvariable = 2006

any help is great

list($year,$month,$day) = explode("-",$eventid,3);

$eventid = "2006-09-03";
$newid = substr($eventid, 0, 4);
echo("The year is: ".$newid);

http://php.net/substr

or to get each section



$eventid = "2006-09-03";
$year = substr($eventid, 0, 4);
$month = substr($eventid, 6, 7);
$day = substr($eventid, 9, 10);

echo("Event Date is :".$year."/".$month."/".$day);
