Hi folks,

maybe somone can help me.
I want to convert a date field (mySql) in german date format.

The mysql query would be:

...DATE_FORMAT(validity_date, '%d.%m.%Y') as formatted_date....

I tried the following as test without formatting inside the controller
and index() - function

$this->set( 'events', $this->Event->findAll(NULL,
array("*","Event.validity_date as validity_date_fmt")) );

It works fine as expected:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [Event] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 3
                    [title] => Testevent #1
                    [description] => Longdesc .....
                    [category_id] => 1
                    [user_id] => 1
                    [validity_date] => 2007-10-01
                    [created] => 2007-07-30
                    [validity_date_fmt] => 2007-10-01
                )
......................

And now the formatting:
$this->set( 'events', $this->Event->findAll(NULL,
array("*","DATE_FORMAT(Event.validity_date, '%d.%m.%Y') as
validity_date_fmt")) );

Giving the following results:
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [Event] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 3
                    [title] => Testevent #1
                    [description] => Longdesc .....
                    [category_id] => 1
                    [user_id] => 1
                    [validity_date] => 2007-10-01
                    [created] => 2007-07-30
                )


            [0] => Array
                (
                    [validity_date_fmt] => 01.10.2007
                )

        )
......

What do i have to change to get the validity_date_fmt as array-key to
the Event-Array ?

Thanks in advance,

Robert
