I have a string saved in the format produced by date ('Ymd-Hms')
e.g.
20050215-130257
Can anyone suggest the easiest way to present this as e.g.
13.02pm, 15/Feb/2005
?
Things like strftime () don't seem to be applicable, and it's not
obviously how the general string formatting functions could be applied
here.

Nasty format... needs to be taken apart and put back in some parsable
format, such as this:
<?php
// example date in custom format...
$t_strCustomDat e = "20050215-130257";
// disassemble...
$t_strYear = substr($t_strCu stomDate, 0, 4);
$t_strMonth = substr($t_strCu stomDate, 4, 2);
$t_strDay = substr($t_strCu stomDate, 6, 2);
$t_strHour = substr($t_strCu stomDate, 9, 2);
$t_strMinute = substr($t_strCu stomDate, 11, 2);
$t_strSecond = substr($t_strCu stomDate, 13, 2);
// reassemble...
$t_strCustomDat e = $t_strYear . "-" . $t_strMonth . "-" . $t_strDay . "
" . $t_strHour . ":" . $t_strMinute . ":" . $t_strSecond;
// now it looks like this...
//$t_strCustomDat e = "2005-02-15 13:02:57";
print date( "H.ma, d/M/Y ", strtotime($t_st rCustomDate) );
?>

Thanks for the replies: I have a string saved in the format produced by date ('Ymd-Hms') e.g. 20050215-130257 . Can anyone suggest the easiest way to present this as e.g. 13.02pm, 15/Feb/2005 ?

Basically the format had been chosen to append a timestamp to a flat-file
database (using the OS timestamp isn't possible because there could be
multiple instances of the same name). The format basically ensures that
the filenames will be in the correct alphabetical order, as the date is
effectively 'backwards'.

Thanks - this use of preg_replace is an elegant solution which I'd
overlooked.

Just wondering if you really want the month to be shown as the minute.
The minute indicator is i, m is for the numeric month.
So ,using the date and time of your post as the example (at the top)
date('Ymd-Hms') gives 20050216-160249
date('Ymd-His') gives 20050216-163349
You may really want the month but if not this will save you some bug
hunting :-)

Hi there,
My problem is the following: When I assign a custom formatted Date & Time to
a Date variable it loses it’s formatting. Ex. 2005-06-07 15:46
now when I assign this to a variable of
type Date or DateTime this becomes 2005/06/07 03:46:00
The same code work flawlessly on various other machines, thus I presume this
is settings related. I know that the Time function in VB.NET reads from the
system time, which you set in...

How does one format a date column in a GridView control? I had assumed that
the DataFormat string would do it, but MSDN only shows numeric formatting
