Is there any nice function in PHP to parse the date into parts given the specified format?
e.g.
some_function('20112000', 'dmY')
some_function('2000-11-20', 'Y-m-d')
some_function('2000 text 11-20', 'Y text m-d')
array('d'=>20, 'm'=>11, 'Y'=>2000) expected in all of the above cases,
(assuming formats compatible with date() function)
I use PHP 5.1.9
This is also possible using Zend_Date, but it uses different formats than date() (e.g. ddMMyyyy)
With PHP >= 5.3, the
DateTime::createFromFormat()allows one to parse a date according to a specified format.After that, you get a
DateTimeobject, and up to your to work with it in order to get the array you want.
