php - Convert numerical date into Datetime object -

just wondered best way convert date in next format: 02072014 (2nd july 2014) \datetime object? i've tried:

$date = datetime::createfromformat("jmy", $digits);

but didn't seem work. i'm using date format because it's beingness entered on phone keypad.

cheers,

ewan

the function definition of createfromformat()

public static datetime datetime::createfromformat ( string $format , string $time [, datetimezone $timezone ] )

so need

$digits = '02072014'; $date = datetime::createfromformat('dmy',$digits); echo $date->format("j m y");

set info in desired format.

$date->format("j m y");

php date datetime
