I would like to separately strip the day and month values out of this timestamp "2012-07-12 17:50:00".
So essentially I could have two variables like:
$month = 7
$day = 12
As I am not very proficient with php, specifically regex coding, I thought I would post this question to ask for advice as to how I would go about accomplishing something like this.
Any assistance, insight or input in this regard would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
AS A NOTE: Futhermore, I would like to turn the two variables into an output like "12th July". This can be coded quite easily so I have not made this a part of the question but if there is a simple function that deals with this information would be much appreciated too!
<?php
list($month,$day) = explode(':',date('n:j',strtotime('2012-07-12 17:50:00')),2);
echo 'Month: '.$month.'<br />'."\n";//Month: 7
echo 'Day: '.$day.'<br />'."\n";//Day: 12
?>
And...
<?php
echo date('jS F',strtotime('2012-07-12 17:50:00'));//Outputs: 12th July
?>
