Ok, I have this code:

Code:
// now we loop
while ($data = @mysql_fetch_object($query)) {
    echo '<li><a href=http://some.site.com';
    echo $data->url.'>';
    echo $data->url.'<br></li>';
}

It dumps the url string as '/02/14/2004/index.php'

Is there a way to strip the url string to echo it as "02-14-2004" instead of '/02/14/2004/index.php'

??

Thanks!

Sorry... Kewell's not bothering to come back to Australia... TRAITOR!

Seriously, though:

[php]
preg_match("!/?(\d+)/(d+)/(d+)",$url,$string);
list($url,$month,$day,$year) = $string;

print "Your date is $day-$month-$year";
