    help with date changes

    Can some tell me how I could change
    1965-11-15 into just 1965.

    I need to calculate ages so I will just get
    $year = date(Y);
    $age = $year - $birthYear;


    TIA,
    Kelly

      I noticed that Message-ID: <VkWgc.169529$P k3.53547@pd7tw1 no> from Kelly
      contained the following:

      $x=date('Y');
      $y=date('Y',str totime("1965-11-15"));
      $age=$x-$y;
      print "$age";

          Thanks actually I just exploded the other date and took the year from it.

              strtotime() accepts a wider range of separators
