Subject: [PHP-DB] Date formats from Postgres
I am reading a data datatype from a PostgreSQL database,
the format sohwing is 2001-01-05 for the 1st of May this year,
I need this date in Australian format i.e. 01/05/2001,
I tried using the string date (string format [, int timestamp])
but with no success.I am not sure how to convert the database variable
into
a timestamp.
