Right now dates might look something like this 04/18/11 or this 04/08/11.
Well, what needs to be changed and where to not display preceeding 0's in single digit months / days so 04/18/11 becomes 4/18/11 and 04/08/11 would become 4/8/11.. Ty for your time and help.
<?php
$ndnews = file_get_contents('http://www.naughtydog.com/index.php/site/tickerData');
preg_match_all("/<div class=\"message\">\n(.+?)\n<\/d/", $ndnews, $news);
foreach($news[1] as $item) {
$Items = explode(" ", $item);
echo "<span class=\"message\">" . $Items[0] . " - " . $Items[1] . "</span><br />\n";
}
?>
Edit: Right now as it stands $Items[0] are the date figures.
