if thats the situation do
Code: Select all
$other_var = '2005-05-05 10:40:50.00';
$some_var = explode(' ', $other_var);
//$some_var[0] will = 2005-05-05

after echo $some_var = explode(' ', $other_var);
do
its a array so you cant just echo it out, if you echo it out you have to give it a certain key to echo out such as $some_var[0] 0 being the key and the brackets holding the key to the array. since your just echoing out $some_var you just see array because thats what $some_var is without a specified key
