Splitting date mmddyyyy

[nfs2]

Im trying to split a date formatted in mmddyyyy into 3 usable variables $month $day and $year

So a function like

function splitdate($date, $var){

//do something here :P

}

and to get the day would be like $day = splitdate(12051978, 'day');

Anyone have any idea how to do it?

take a look at substr [php.net]

Thats perfect! Thank you :)
