| 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. |

@topdown I think @xeoncross was pointing out that trim() only trims characters from the beginning/end of a string, not the middle. So trim isn't required in your code :)
@JeffreyWay Nice teaser though. I didn't know about the sscanf() function.
