How do I parse a date field from mysql?
I was hoping this would work:
$mydata->birthday = "2007-02-13";
#What month is it?
echo date("F", $mydata->birthday);
#What year is it?
echo date("Y", $mydata->birthday);
What am I missing? All I get is December 1969. Hmmm?
I am looking at the manual:
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html
Something like:
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Copenhagen');
$somedate = '2007-02-13';
echo date("F", strtotime($somedate));
echo "\n";
echo date("Y", strtotime($somedate));
Output:
[mich...@archie ~]$ php a.php
February
2007
