Question

How do I parse this data?
This is a datetime that were from my database

2011-09-27 13:14:11

I want to get only the 13 14 and 11 separately.
the output should be:

13
14
11

Please be noted that this is a dynamic value
I could also get a datetime that has this value:
2011-09-27 1:12:00

How would I do that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Let’s say you’ve assigned 2011-09-27 13:14:11 from db table to variable named $datetime

$result =  strtotime($datetime);
$minute = date("i", $result );
$second = date("s",$result );
$hour = date("H", $result );

In your case $hour will be 13, $minute will be 14, $second will be 11. More detailed in PHP documentation

BTW

if you want to get seperate year, month, day too, use following piece of code

$year = date("Y", $result );
$month = date("m",$result );
$day = date("d", $result );
