php - Split string from a date

Question

I want split a string using PHP to get a individual date info.

For example:

$date = '08/05/2010';

would create the varables

$month = '08';

$day = '05';

$year = '2010';

Thank you.

Use explode:

$date = '08/05/2010';
list($month, $day, $year) = explode('/', $date);
