Separate year from date format

Post by dv_evan »

Dear All,

I have already attempted searching for this issue but came up with nothing.
I am extracting records from MySQL, I have the dates in the date field in the format dd/mm/yr, which was enter from a normal registration form.

I would like to display the 'yr' (year only) from the dd/mm/yr field.

eg: Name/ Address / Year instead of Name/Address/Date
Can you assist in helping me solve this problem please.

Regards
Dave

Code: Select all

 
$timer_given = '02/06/2006';
$my_time = strtotime($timer_given);
$my_date = date('y',$my_time);
echo $my_date; //gives  you the required year
//this gives you as 06
//incase you want it as 2006, replace 'y' with 'Y'
