Getting day, month and year apart from Db

If you want to use what is built in PHP, have a look at http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-p...format.php

An example:

Code:

$date_parts = date_parse_from_format('Y-m-d', '2018-03-09');
var_dump($date_parts);
// array(12) { ["year"]=> int(2018) ["month"]=> int(3) ["day"]=> int(9) ["hour"]=> bool(false) ["minute"]=> bool(false) ["second"]=> bool(false) ["fraction"]=> bool(false) ["warning_count"]=> int(0) ["warnings"]=> array(0) { } ["error_count"]=> int(0) ["errors"]=> array(0) { } ["is_localtime"]=> bool(false) }
