从字符串格式“DD-MM-YYYY”获取日，月，年

Question

I have a date in string format DD-MM-YYYY.

date_string = "08-01-2008";

I would like to extract the day, month, year information from date_string such that;

day="08";
month="01";
year="2008";

How can this be done in php?

Answer 1

$string = "08-01-2208";

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat("d-m-Y", $string);
echo $date->format("d"); //day
echo $date->format("m"); //month
echo $date->format("Y"); //year
