Return the last 2 digits a number

Question

How can I get the last 2 digits of:

200912

to my object:

$year = $flightDates-&         


        

Answer 1

Example 1 : You can just strip the tags with strip_tags and use substr

$number = '200912' ;
$year = substr(strip_tags($number), 0,2);
var_dump($year);

Example 2 : You can also use simplexml_load_string with substr

$number = '200912' ;
$year = substr(simplexml_load_string($number),0,2);
var_dump($year);

Output

string '20' (length=2)
