Hello All,
I have a date value that I pull from a .csv file.
After reading the file and storing the values in an array the value of
the date could
be found in $array[1], for example.
=============================================================
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle,5000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$mydate = $data[3]; // here is the array value that holds the date
}
=============================================================
The date will be in either m/d/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy format.
Here is the problem. I need to display this date on the page
in "long" format - i.e. January 5, 2005 instead of 1/5/2005 or
01/05/2005.
I have tried to use the date() function, however I can only get the
formatting to work
with the current date and not with an 'existing' date.
date("d.m.Y", $mydate); // this does not work, I get a date from
1969...
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
JC
