formatting date string for html table - php

Question

Can someone show me how to change this date stamp and print this in an html table?
I have an input file with this time stamp format:
4-Start=20100901180002
This time format is stored like this in an array.
I print out the array like so to create an html table:
foreach ($data as $row){
$counter ++;
$class = $counter % 2 === 0 ? 'alt1' : 'alt2';
echo '<tr class="' . $class . '">';
foreach ($keys as $column)
if (isset($row[$column])){
echo '<td>' . $row[$column];
} else {
echo '<td>' . '' . '</td>';
}
}
echo '</table>';
How do I change the timestamp in this table to this? 2010-09-01 18:00:02

This is what you are looking for,
http://de2.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
There is a similar question you can get more inputs from there as well..
How do I format the date and time That is received from database
EDIT:
Yes you can use it an echo as well
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime('20100901180002')) ; // 2010-09-01 18:00:02
You can even use CreateFromFormat as RC said, this is using CreateFromFormat in Procedural style.
$date = date_create_from_format("YmdHis", '20100901180002');
echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d H:i:s'); // 2010-09-01 18:00:02
Refer to http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php

This part is strange, the elseif is never reached in my opinion.
if (isset($row[$column])){
echo '<td>' . $row[$column] . '</td>';
} elseif ($column == 'Condition') {
echo '<td> Error </td>';
} else {
echo '<td> </td>';
}
Regarding your format issue:
// PHP > 5.2
$date_s = "" . $row['Start'];
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat("YmdHis", $date_s);
echo $date->format("Y-m-d H:i:s"); // 2010-09-01 18:00:02
