Get the Year/Month/Day from a datetime in php?

Use DateTime with DateTime::format()

$datetime = new DateTime($dateTimeString);
echo $datetime->format('w');

Check out the manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php

<?php
$date = new DateTime('2000-01-01');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
?>

Will output: 2000-01-01 00:00:00
