Explode Date

A good block of code to explode date into parts.

    This is a very simple few lines of code to display dates that arrive in various formats:

    $dateArray=explode('-','2011-02-05');

    // $dateArray[0]= 2011
    // $dateArray[1] = 02
    // $dateArray[2] = 05

    echo date('M j, Y', mktime(0, 0, 0, $dateArray[1], $dateArray[2], $dateArray[0]));

    // result: Feb 2, 2011
