Although Adam's way is more thorough, you might want to use this.

PHP Code:


			
$sStartDate = explode('-', '2008-05-29');
// $sEndDate = explode('-', '2008-06-01'); Tanax got mad.

/*
     Now you would have something like $sStartDate[0]; would be 2008, being 1, 05 and 2, 29th.


     Now, you could make a timestamp which I always use, it's more easier on the eyes if you ask me.
*/

$iStartDate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $sStartDate[1], $sStartDate[2], $sStartDate[0]);

/*
     Now, with that b-e-a-utiful function, you would recieve a timestamp which you can use almost anywhere. If you want to push a date onto the screen, use this.
*/

echo date('H:i:s d-m-Y', $iStartDate);

/*
     Note: I didn't try it, scripted it into this quickreply so there MIGHT be some errors - off to school now.
*/

Oh yes, $iStartDate being that it's a TOTAL integer (only numbers), and $sStartDate, being that it contains a dash which is not a numeric function, if checked with the is_numeric function.
