Parsing a PHP String without Delimiters

[AttilaTheChris]

I'm not sure if my last post went through (so my apologies if this is a repeat).

I need to figure out how to separate a string that contains no delimters.
In this case, a MySQL timestamp ('2003100115570 4 ') into date and time units.

Is there a date function for this?
If not, I would be just as happy with a string function.

Thanks,
Chris

A question that can be answered easily on your own..

http://www.php.net/

why wait hours when you can have immediate answers.

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php

and look at all those other handy date functions on the left.

$epoch_timestam p = strtotime('2003 1001155704');

or perhaps you should be using a mysql date function (see http://www.mysql.com)?

Before you cast the RTFM stone you might want to RTFM yourself.

strtotime does not parse '20031001155704 ' you have to remove the seconds and
add a space between the date and time to make it work i.e.
$epoch_timestam p = strtotime('2003 1001 1557');

I guess bum-info is one of the hazzards of usenet?

How about this?
$array = sscanf('2003100 1155704','%4d%2 d%2d%2d%2d%2d') ;
list($year,$mon th,$day,$hour,$ min,$sec) = $array;
