[PHP] MS SQL and Date Fields

2001-02-15 Thread James Crowley

Hi,
I have a problem (!). I am using an MS SQL db, which returns a date field.
How can I format this using the date() function? ie how can I convert the
date to a Unix timestamp? I know you can use the mktime() function, but in
which case, how can I get the day/month/year etc from the ms sql date
field?!

Many thanks,

- James

MS SQL almost for sure has a way to do this in your SQL, which will be
faster than PHP's mktime() anyway.

You'll have to read the MS SQL docs to find it, though...
