Question
I am new to PHP and cannot figure out the best method to convert two strings I have from URL params.
I would like to convert: "August 2010" to ---> "2010-08-%"
and also: "2010" to ---> "2010-%-%"
Thank you in advance!
Solution
You can use the strtotime
function with date
:
echo date('Y-m', strtotime('August 2010'));
Just adjust the format parameter to the date
function to get the result in the format you are looking for. You might want to append the %
part after convert the date format.
