Simple PHP Quiz
<?php
$string = "January 5th, 2012";
list($month, $day, $year) = array_map(function($v) { return trim($v, ","); }, explode(" ", $string));
var_dump($month, $day, $year);
// string(7) "January"
// string(3) "5th"
// string(4) "2012"
// Fun little quiz
Assuming this string: "January 5th, 2012"
In the shortest amount of code possible, place:
- 'January' within a $month variable
- '5th' within a $day variable
- '2012' within a $year variable.
See if you can accomplish this with one line of code. (And no snarky $month = 'January' answers.
Assume that the format always stays the same, but month, day, and year values can change with each referesh.
