Given the following timestring: $str = '2000-11-29';
$php_date = getdate( $str );
echo '<pre>';
print_r ($php_date);
echo '</pre>';
How to get the year/month/day in PHP? [seconds] => 20
[minutes] => 33
[hours] => 18
[mday] => 31
[wday] => 3
[mon] => 12
[year] => 1969
[yday] => 364
[weekday] => Wednesday
[month] => December
[0] => 2000
I don't know why I get 1969 for year. Thank you asked Aug 31, 2010 at 3:51 You can use
strtotime to parse a time string, and pass the resulting timestamp to getdate (or use date to format your time). $str = '2000-11-29';
if (($timestamp = strtotime($str)) !== false)
{
$php_date = getdate($timestamp);
// or if you want to output a date in year/month/day format:
$date = date("Y/m/d", $timestamp); // see the date manual page for format options
}
else
{
echo 'invalid timestamp!';
}
Note that strtotime will return false if the time string is invalid or can't be parsed. When the timestamp you're trying to
parse is invalid, you end up with the 1969-12-31 date you encountered before. RRikesh 13.6k5 gold badges47 silver badges68 bronze badges answered Aug 31, 2010 at 3:53

$str = "2010-08-29"; // Missed semicolon here
$time = strtotime($str);
// You can now use date() functions with $time, like
$weekday = date("l", $time); // Wednesday or whatever date it is
?>
Hopefully that will get you going! Mike Purcell 19.5k10 gold badges51 silver badges86 bronze badges answered Aug 31, 2010 at 3:54 Raphael CaixetaRaphael Caixeta 7,7649 gold badges50 silver
badges76 bronze badges Using the object-oriented programming style, you can do this with
DateTime class $dateFormat = 'Y-m-d';
$stringDate = '2000-11-29';
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat($dateFormat, $stringDate);
Then, you can decompose your date using the format() method $year = $date->format('Y'); // returns a string
If you prefer the numeric format, instead of the string format, you can use the
intval() function $year = intval($date->format('Y')); // returns an integer
Here some formats that you can use Y A full numeric representation of a year, 4 digitsm Month of the year, 2 digits with leading zerosd Day of the month, 2 digits with leading zerosH 24-hour format of an hour, 2 digits with leading zerosi Minutes, 2 digits with leading zeros
s Seconds, 2 digits with leading zeros
Here the entire list of the formats that you can use : http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php answered Feb 1, 2015 at 12:14 TyphonTyphon 8061 gold badge12 silver badges19 bronze badges PHP - we can get year, month, day from time string in many formats. $dateFromDb = '2021-2-6 13:15:19';
if (($timestamp = strtotime($dateFromDb)) !== false) {
// auto format full time
$php_date = getdate($timestamp);
echo '<br>';
foreach($php_date as $key =>$value){

echo 'Seconds = '.date("s", $timestamp).'<br>';
echo '-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- <br>';
// and we can combine format also.
// and we can add '/' or ':' between year,month,days or anything we want.
echo 'Time = ' .date("H:i:s" ,$timestamp).'<br>';
echo 'Date = ' .date("d/m/Y" ,$timestamp).'<br>';
