So use UNIX_TIM
at the top of your script, do:
setlocale ( LC_TIME, 'de_DE' ) ;
(assumes your machine has German support installed)
Yes, this is really the "right" way to do date display for different
locales, but it also requries that you use the strftime() function
instead of date().
Like date(), strftime

how can I convert a date stored in a mysql-database for output
in the german format (dd.mm.yy).
I tried date ("d.m.y",$row->from);
the second parameter to date() should be a unix timestamp (integer).
Did you convert your MySQL date to a timestamp?
Try:
date("d.m.y", strtotime($row->from));
Hi,
how can I convert a date stored in a mysql-database for output
in the german format (dd.mm.yy).
I tried date ("d.m.y",$row->from);
but I still get the english-format stored in the database.
The databasefield is type date.
