Question

All,

I have the following string:

$dateTime = '2013-09-15T00:00:00.000Z';

Is there a function to extract Year, Month and Date from the above string, so the result looks like the following:

$yearMonthDate = '2013-09-15';

Thanks

You could convert your datetime to a timestamp using strtotime() and then convert it back into a formatted date using this kind of syntax:

date("Y-m-d", strtotime($myOriginalDate))
