将8位数的值更改为欧洲日期格式

Question

Using PHP I have data feed fed in to an array: $index->indexDate this gives me a European style 8 digit date (There is no time just the 8 digit date).

For example: The value 28112012 should result in 28-11-2012 or 28/12/2012 . I have tried several methods but I am not sure how I should be doing this, I keep ending up with a 1970 date.

Answer 1

There's the DateTime class, and its format methods

$date = \DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', '28112012')->format('d-m-Y')

If your application need to handle full internationalization ("i18n"), then you should take a look at PHP's Intl extension . Basically, it adapt the formatting of numbers, date, currency, etc. for every country.

Answer 2

How about using substring ? link

$date="28112012";
$new_date=substr($date,0,2)."-".substr($date,2,2)."-".substr($date,4,4);

Use - or / .
