i am facing a problem
i have timestamp in string format -- Fri Jan 28 19:53:09 2005 now i
want to get the date from it. is it possible? pls. help. on using
strftime(%D,$timestamp) it is giving 01/01/70. May pls. help me.
Also pls. let me know whether calculation can be done in mysql on this
try
$date = date(Y-m-d,strtotime($timestamp));
Best thing to use if you want to do calcs on date/time data is to use the
unix time stamp...translates the timestamp into seconds since
01-01-1970...Much simpler to use in sql queries
